Lanturn is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Lanturn (#171), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Chinchou. In this catalog that name is Chinchou (#170).
Naoyo Kimura illustrated this card. The same name is on 256 other cards in the catalog.
Lanturn (#171) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Lanturn 38/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Lanturn list a different HP.
The attack Ram lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Strobe Shock is another attack lists 90 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent reveals their hand. If you find any Energy cards there, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon flashes a bright light that blinds its prey. This creates an opening for it to deliver an electrical attack." The regulation mark is D.
I keep a set binder for Sword & Shield, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sword & Shield set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lanturn can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
