Porygon-Z-GX is a Stage 2 GX Colorless Pokémon with 240 HP. In the Pokédex this is Porygon-Z (#474), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Porygon2. In this catalog that name is Porygon2 (#233).

Porygon-Z (#474) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Porygon-Z DP35/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Porygon-Z, while this one is Porygon-Z-GX. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 240 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and PLANETA Tsuji illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Porygon-Z list a different HP.

I keep a set binder for SM Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SM Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Porygon-Z can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
