Simisage is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Simisage (#512), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Pansage. In this catalog that name is Pansage (#511).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Simisage (#512) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Simisage 8/114 in Black & White (2011). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Masakazu Fukuda illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 5 other cards of Simisage list a different HP.

The attack Fire Fling lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Put 3 Fire Energy cards from your discard pile into your hand. Hand Fling is another attack lists 10× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 10 damage times the number of cards in your hand. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Ill tempered, it fights by swinging its barbed tail around wildly. The leaf growing on its head is very bitter."

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. Simisage can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
