Dipplin is Pokédex #1011, generation 9 (Paldea). Dipplin is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Applin. In this catalog that name is Applin (#840).

Dipplin sits at 18/167 in Twilight Masquerade, position 18 of 226. Before it is 17 Applin, and after it is 19 Iron Leaves. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series.

Festival Lead is listed as Ability. If Festival Grounds is in play, this Pokémon may use an attack it has twice. If the first attack Knocks Out your opponent's Active Pokémon, you may attack again after your opponent chooses a new Active Pokémon. The attack Do the Wave lists 20× damage. The cost is Grass. This attack does 20 damage for each of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Dipplin (#1011) has 5 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 4 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2024 to 2025. The earliest other card is Dipplin 127/167 in Twilight Masquerade (2024). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. OKACHEKE illustrated that card, and Saboteri illustrated this one. 2 other cards of Dipplin list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Saboteri. I count 15 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Twilight Masquerade set binder is where a full Twilight Masquerade set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dipplin can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
