Tangrowth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Tangrowth (#465), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Tangela. In this catalog that name is Tangela (#114).

MAHOU illustrated this card. The same name is on 122 other cards in the catalog.

Tangrowth (#465) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Tangrowth 10/106 in Great Encounters (2008). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and MAHOU illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 11 other cards of Tangrowth list a different HP.

The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 10 more damage for each Colorless in your opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can't even see its eyes."

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