Swablu is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 40 HP. In the Pokédex this is Swablu (#333), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card lists Altaria, Altaria (#334) under evolves to.

Mizue illustrated this card. The same name is on 184 other cards in the catalog.

Swablu (#333) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Swablu 75/97 in Dragon (2003). Both list 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Swablu list a different HP.

The attack Bind Wound lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Heal 20 damage from 1 of your Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It constantly grooms its cotton-like wings. It takes a shower to clean itself if it becomes dirty."

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