Drapion LV.X is a Level-Up Darkness Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level X. In the Pokédex this is Drapion (#452), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Drapion. In this catalog that name is Drapion (#452).

Ryo Ueda illustrated this card. The same name is on 462 other cards in the catalog.

Drapion (#452) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Drapion 23/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card is named Drapion, while this one is Drapion LV.X. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo LV.X. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Drapion list a different HP.

Tri-Poison is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 3 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns. This power can't be used if Drapion is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Sniping Tail lists 40 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: Put this card onto your Active Drapion. Drapion LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

I keep a set binder for Platinum, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Platinum set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Drapion can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pokémon LV.X. I still need this card.
