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. Ambipom is 91/114, in position 91 of 116 on this checklist. Before it is 90 Aipom, and after it is 92 Rufflet. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Ambipom is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Ambipom (#424), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Aipom. In this catalog that name is Aipom (#190).

Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card. The same name is on 408 other cards in the catalog.

Ambipom (#424) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ambipom 3/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Ambipom list a different HP.

The attack Furry Chance lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless. Discard the top card of your opponent's deck. If that card is an Energy card, this attack does 60 more damage. Double Hit is another attack lists 50× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. It rarely uses its arms now."

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. Ambipom can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
