Grovyle is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Grovyle (#253), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Treecko. In this catalog that name is Treecko (#252). The card lists Sceptile, Sceptile (#254) under evolves to.

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

Grovyle (#253) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2018. The earliest other card is Grovyle 31/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 7 other cards of Grovyle list a different HP.

Sunshine Grace is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Grass Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck. The attack Slicing Blade lists 40 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It lives in dense jungles. While closing in on its prey, it leaps from branch to branch."

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