Starmie is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Starmie (#121), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Staryu. In this catalog that name is Staryu (#120).

Yuka Morii illustrated this card. The same name is on 204 other cards in the catalog.

The earliest other card is Starmie 64/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 24 other cards of Starmie list a different HP.

Escape is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may shuffle this Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck. The attack Spinning Attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its shining core is thought to receive and transmit enigmatic signals. It has been known to cause headaches in those who approach it."

I keep a set binder for Crimson Invasion, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crimson Invasion set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Starmie can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards. I still need this card.
