Claydol is Pokédex #344, generation 3 (Hoenn). Claydol is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Baltoy. In this catalog that name is Baltoy (#343).

The attack Kaboom Doll lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. Put damage counters on your opponent's Active Pokémon until its remaining HP is 10. If you placed any damage counters in this way, this attack also does 120 damage to this Pokémon. Mind Bend is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It appears to have been born from clay dolls made by ancient people. It uses telekinesis to float and move." The regulation mark is G.

Claydol (#344) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Team Magma's Claydol 8/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Magma's Claydol, while this one is Claydol. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Zu-Ka illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Claydol list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shigenori Negishi. I count 151 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Obsidian Flames set binder is where a full Obsidian Flames set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Claydol can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
