Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 18 other cards of Bulbasaur list a different HP.

The attack Razor Leaf lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon."

I keep a set binder for Shining Legends, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Shining Legends set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bulbasaur can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
