Celebi is Pokédex #251, generation 2 (Johto). Celebi ◇ is a Basic Prism Star Grass Pokémon with 90 HP.

Celebi ◇ sits at 19/214 in Lost Thunder, position 19 of 240. Before it is 18 Heracross, and after it is 20 Treecko. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 2 November 2018. The printed size is 214. This checklist is longer, at 240 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Prism Star.

The attack Time Distortion lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Devolve any number of your Benched Pokémon as many times as you like. Put each Evolution card removed this way into your hand. Leech Seed is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass. Heal 20 damage from this Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: ◇ (Prism Star) Rule: You can't have more than 1 ◇ card with the same name in your deck. If a ◇ card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead. The flavor text reads "It has the power to travel across time, but it is said to appear only in peaceful times."

Celebi (#251) has 35 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Celebi 50/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Celebi, while this one is Celebi ◇. That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Prism Star. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 35 other cards of Celebi list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Lost Thunder set binder is where a full Lost Thunder set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Celebi can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Prism Star and Star cards. I still need this card.
