Golurk is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Golurk (#623), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Golett. In this catalog that name is Golett (#622).

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

Golurk (#623) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golurk 72/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Common. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Golurk list a different HP.

The attack Dig Out lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Discard the top card of your deck. If that card is a Fighting Energy card, attach it to this Pokémon. Double Lariat is another attack lists 90× damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 90 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It flies across the sky at Mach speeds. Removing the seal on its chest makes its internal energy go out of control."

I keep a set binder for Ancient Origins, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ancient Origins set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golurk can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
