Glaceon is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 42. In the Pokédex this is Glaceon (#471), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Eevee. In this catalog that name is Eevee (#133).

Naoyo Kimura illustrated this card. The same name is on 256 other cards in the catalog.

Glaceon (#471) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Glaceon 5/100 in Majestic Dawn (2008). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 30 other cards of Glaceon list a different HP.

Frost Wind is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Glaceon is your Active Pokémon, any damage done to your Pokémon by your opponent's attacks is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Ice Blade lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Ice Bind is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent doesn't discard a card from his or her hand, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Metal +20. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Rising Rivals, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Rising Rivals set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Glaceon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions. I still need this card.
