Roadblock is listed as Ability. Your opponent can't have more than 4 Benched Pokémon. If they have 5 or more Benched Pokémon, they discard Benched Pokémon until they have 4 Pokémon on the Bench. If more than one effect changes the number of Benched Pokémon allowed, use the smaller number. The attack Rock Throw lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "To avoid attack, it mimics a tree. It will run off if splashed with water, which it hates."

Sudowoodo (#185) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Sudowoodo 77/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Sudowoodo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Guardians Rising set binder is where a full Guardians Rising set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Sudowoodo can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
