Rhyperior is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 150 HP. In the Pokédex this is Rhyperior (#464), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Rhydon. In this catalog that name is Rhydon (#112).

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

Rhyperior (#464) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Rhyperior 12/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 140 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Rhyperior list a different HP.

The attack Rock Shower lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Stone Edge is another attack lists 80+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 more damage. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It puts rocks in holes in its palms and uses its muscles to shoot them. Geodude are shot at rare times."

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