Team Rocket's Arbok is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Arbok (#024), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Team Rocket's Ekans. In this catalog that name is Ekans (#023).

Arbok (#024) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Arbok 31/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Arbok, while this one is Team Rocket's Arbok. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. 17 other cards of Arbok list a different HP.

Potent Glare is listed as Ability. As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, your opponent can't play any Pokémon that has an Ability from their hand, except for Team Rocket's Pokémon. The attack Spinning Tail lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Darkness. This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The regulation mark is I.

I keep a set binder for Destined Rivals, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Destined Rivals set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arbok can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
