Aegislash is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Aegislash (#681), generation 6 (Kalos). The card says it evolves from Doublade. In this catalog that name is Doublade (#680).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Aegislash (#681) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2014 to 2026. The earliest other card is Aegislash 85/146 in XY (2014). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Aegislash list a different HP.

Royal Guard is listed as Ability. This Pokémon takes 40 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Shield Bash lists 100 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Apparently, it can detect the innate qualities of leadership. According to legend, whoever it recognizes is destined to become king."

I keep a set binder for Team Up, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Up set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Aegislash can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
