Deoxys is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Deoxys (#386), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 128 other cards in the catalog.

Deoxys (#386) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2005 to 2026. The earliest other card is Deoxys 16/107 in Deoxys (2005). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 43 other cards of Deoxys list a different HP.

The attack Reflect lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes 40 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Psychic Corkscrew is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "DNA from a space virus mutated and became a Pokémon. It appears where auroras are seen."

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. Deoxys can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
