Empoleon is Pokédex #395, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Empoleon is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Prinplup. In this catalog that name is Prinplup (#394).

Empoleon (#395) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Empoleon 4/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Empoleon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads nagimiso. I count 156 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ultra Prism set binder is where a full Ultra Prism set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Empoleon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
