Dunsparce is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 17. In the Pokédex this is Dunsparce (#206), generation 2 (Johto).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Dunsparce (#206) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dunsparce 54/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Yukiko Baba illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Dunsparce list a different HP.

The attack Call for Family lists no damage number. Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Spring Out is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting +10. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It digs into the ground with its tail and makes a mazelike nest. It can fly just a little."

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. Dunsparce can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
