Misty's Starmie is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Starmie (#121), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Misty's Staryu. In this catalog that name is Staryu (#120).

The earliest other card is Starmie 64/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Starmie, while this one is Misty's Starmie. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. 34 other cards of Starmie list a different HP.

I keep a set binder for Destined Rivals, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Destined Rivals set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Starmie can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Misty and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
