Light Lanturn is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 33. In the Pokédex this is Lanturn (#171), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Chinchou. In this catalog that name is Chinchou (#170).

Miki Tanaka illustrated this card. The same name is on 192 other cards in the catalog.

Lanturn (#171) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Lanturn 38/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card is named Lanturn, while this one is Light Lanturn. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Miki Tanaka illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Lanturn list a different HP.

The attack Searchlight lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. Flip a coin. If heads, each player may choose a card from his or her discard pile and put it into his or her hand. Spark is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon has evolved its dorsal fin to emit light, which attracts the fish it feeds on."

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