Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. 1 other cards of Barraskewda list a different HP.

The attack Targeted Skewer lists no damage number. The cost is Water. This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon for each damage counter on that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Jet Headbutt is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon has a jaw that's as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda's flesh is surprisingly tasty, too." The regulation mark is D.

I keep a set binder for Vivid Voltage, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Vivid Voltage set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Barraskewda can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). I still need this card.
