Counterattack Quills is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 2 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon. The attack Poison Sting lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Qwilfish (#211) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Qwilfish 49/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare. Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Qwilfish list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Flashfire set binder is where a full Flashfire set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Qwilfish can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
