Zebstrika is Pokédex #523, generation 5 (Unova). Zebstrika is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Blitzle. In this catalog that name is Blitzle (#522).

The earliest other card is Zebstrika 42/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Zebstrika list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zebstrika can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
