Octillery is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Octillery (#224), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Remoraid. In this catalog that name is Remoraid (#223).

Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this card. The same name is on 174 other cards in the catalog.

Octillery (#224) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Octillery 34/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Octillery list a different HP.

Abyssal Hand is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw cards until you have 5 cards in your hand. The attack Hug lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It traps foes with the suction cups on its tentacles, then smashes them with its rock-hard head."

I keep a set binder for BREAKthrough, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the BREAKthrough set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Octillery can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
