Drapion VSTAR sits at 119/196 in Lost Origin, position 119 of 217. Before it is 118 Drapion V, and after it is 120 Darkrai. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on September 9, 2022. The printed size is 196. This checklist is longer, at 217 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo VSTAR.

Hazard Star is listed as Ability. During your turn, you may make your opponent's Active Pokémon Paralyzed and Poisoned. During Pokémon Checkup, put 3 damage counters on that Pokémon instead of 1. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) The attack Big Bang Arm lists 250- damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. This attack does 10 less damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

Drapion (#452) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Drapion 23/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card is named Drapion, while this one is Drapion VSTAR. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 270 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo VSTAR. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and PLANETA Mochizuki illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Drapion list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads PLANETA Mochizuki. I count 131 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Lost Origin set binder is where a full Lost Origin set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Drapion can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
