Crimson Invasion is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on November 3, 2017. The printed size is 111. This checklist is longer, at 126 cards. Gastrodon is 54/111, in position 54 of 126 on this checklist. Before it is 53 Regirock, and after it is 55 Stufful. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Gastrodon is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Gastrodon (#423), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Shellos. In this catalog that name is Shellos (#422).

TOKIYA illustrated this card. The same name is on 93 other cards in the catalog.

Gastrodon (#423) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 5 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Gastrodon East Sea 8/132 in Secret Wonders (2007). That card is named Gastrodon East Sea, while this one is Gastrodon. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and TOKIYA illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 4, and here it is 3. 7 other cards of Gastrodon list a different HP.

The attack Eerie Fluid lists 30 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Earthquake is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. This attack does 10 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It has strong regenerative capabilities. Even if parts of it are bitten off by fish Pokémon, it will return to normal within a few hours."

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. Gastrodon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
