Golisopod-GX is a Stage 1 GX Grass Pokémon with 210 HP. In the Pokédex this is Golisopod (#768), generation 7 (Alola). The card says it evolves from Wimpod. In this catalog that name is Wimpod (#767).

5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.

Golisopod (#768) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2026. The earliest other card is Golisopod SM52/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). That card is named Golisopod, while this one is Golisopod-GX. That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 210 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo GX. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 10 other cards of Golisopod list a different HP.

The attack First Impression lists 30+ damage. The cost is Grass. If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 90 more damage. Armor Press is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes 20 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Crossing Cut-GX is another attack lists 150 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Burning Shadows, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Burning Shadows set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golisopod can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
