Crustle is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Crustle (#558), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Dwebble. In this catalog that name is Dwebble (#557).

OKUBO illustrated this card. The same name is on 20 other cards in the catalog.

Crustle (#558) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Crustle 7/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Illustration Rare.

During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes 100 less damage from attacks from Evolution Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

I keep a set binder for Paradox Rift, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Paradox Rift set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Crustle can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
