Gorebyss is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Gorebyss (#368), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Clamperl. In this catalog that name is Clamperl (#366).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Gorebyss (#368) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2025. The earliest other card is Gorebyss 18/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Gorebyss list a different HP.

The attack Psy Bolt lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. α Growth is the ancient trait on this card. When you attach an Energy card from your hand to this Pokémon (except with an attack, Ability, or Trainer card), you may attach 2 Energy cards. The flavor text reads "Its swimming form is exquisitely elegant. With its thin mouth, it feeds on seaweed that grows between rocks."

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. Gorebyss can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
