Bulbasaur is Pokédex #001, generation 1 (Kanto). Bulbasaur is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists Ivysaur, Ivysaur (#002) under evolves to.

Bulbasaur sits at 1/25 in McDonald's Collection 2021, position 1 of 25. The next card is 2 Chikorita. The set belongs to the Other series. It was released on 9 February 2021. The printed size is 25, and the checklist is the same length.

The attack Razor Leaf lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon."

Bulbasaur (#001) has 27 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Bulbasaur 44/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 18 other cards of Bulbasaur list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mizue. I count 184 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

McDonald's Collection 2021 set binder is where a full McDonald's Collection 2021 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bulbasaur can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
