Excadrill is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Excadrill (#530), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Drilbur. In this catalog that name is Drilbur (#529).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

Excadrill (#530) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Excadrill 56/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Secret. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 19 other cards of Excadrill list a different HP.

The attack Eleventh Hour Tackle lists 30+ damage. The cost is Fighting. If there are 3 or fewer cards in your deck, this attack does 150 more damage. Drill Bazooka is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Fighting. Discard the top 4 cards of your deck. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It can help in tunnel construction. Its drill has evolved into steel strong enough to bore through iron plates."

I keep a set binder for Cosmic Eclipse, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Cosmic Eclipse set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Excadrill can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
