Combee is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 40 HP. In the Pokédex this is Combee (#415), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card lists Vespiquen, Vespiquen (#416) under evolves to.
Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this card. The same name is on 212 other cards in the catalog.
Combee (#415) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Combee 79/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Combee list a different HP.
The attack Bug Bite lists 10 damage. The cost is Grass. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It collects and delivers honey to its colony. At night, they cluster to form a beehive and sleep."
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. Combee can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
