Salazzle-GX is a Stage 1 GX Fire Pokémon with 200 HP. In the Pokédex this is Salazzle (#758), generation 7 (Alola). The card says it evolves from Salandit. In this catalog that name is Salandit (#757).

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

Salazzle (#758) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2026. The earliest other card is Salazzle SM73/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). That card is named Salazzle, while this one is Salazzle-GX. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 200 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Salazzle list a different HP.

The attack Diabolical Claws lists 50× damage. The cost is Fire, Fire. This attack does 50 damage for each Prize card you have taken. Heat Blast is another attack lists 110 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire. Queen's Haze-GX is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Fire, Fire. Discard all Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. 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 SM Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SM Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Salazzle can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
