Steam Siege is a set in the XY series. It was released on August 3, 2016. The printed size is 114. This checklist is longer, at 116 cards. Azumarill is 77/114, in position 77 of 116 on this checklist. Before it is 76 Marill, and after it is 78 Gardevoir-EX. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Azumarill is a Stage 1 Fairy Water Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Azumarill (#184), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Marill. In this catalog that name is Marill (#183).

Sanosuke Sakuma illustrated this card. The same name is on 158 other cards in the catalog.

Azumarill (#184) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Azumarill 2/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Sanosuke Sakuma illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 19 other cards of Azumarill list a different HP.

The attack Play Rough lists 30+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 more damage. Bubble Drain is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Fairy, Fairy, Colorless. Heal 30 damage from this Pokémon. Weakness is Metal ×2. Resistance is Darkness -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The bubble-like pattern on its stomach helps it camouflage itself when it's in the water."

I keep a set binder for Steam Siege, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Steam Siege set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Azumarill can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
