Masquerain is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 36. In the Pokédex this is Masquerain (#284), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Surskit. In this catalog that name is Surskit (#283).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Masquerain (#284) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2023. The earliest other card is Masquerain 20/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Masquerain list a different HP.

Intimidating Pattern is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Masquerain is your Active Pokémon, any damage done by an opponent's attack is reduced by 20 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Skim Attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass. Draw 2 cards. Weakness is Lightning +20. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "Its antennae have eye patterns on them. Its four wings enable it to hover and fly in any direction."

I keep a set binder for Supreme Victors, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Supreme Victors set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Masquerain can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
