Primal Clash is a set in the XY series. It was released on February 4, 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. Breloom is 16/160, in position 16 of 164 on this checklist. Before it is 15 Shroomish, and after it is 17 Volbeat. The listed rarity is Rare.

Breloom is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Breloom (#286), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Shroomish. In this catalog that name is Shroomish (#285).

Suwama Chiaki illustrated this card. The same name is on 102 other cards in the catalog.

Breloom (#286) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Breloom 16/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 13 other cards of Breloom list a different HP.

The attack Dynamic Punch lists 40+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 more damage and your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Mega Kick is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It scatters poisonous spores and throws powerful punches while its foe is hampered by inhaled spores."

I keep a set binder for Primal Clash, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Primal Clash set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Breloom can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
