Cacnea is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. In the Pokédex this is Cacnea (#331), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card lists Cacturne, Cacturne (#332) under evolves to.

Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card. The same name is on 408 other cards in the catalog.

Cacnea (#331) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Cacnea 57/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. 12 other cards of Cacnea list a different HP.

Poison Payback is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned. The attack Light Punch lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It prefers harsh environments such as deserts. It can survive for 30 days on water stored in its body."

I keep a set binder for Celestial Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Celestial Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cacnea can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
