Poliwhirl is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Poliwhirl (#061), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Poliwag. In this catalog that name is Poliwag (#060). The card lists Poliwrath, Poliwrath (#062) and Politoed, Politoed (#186) under evolves to.
Kanako Eo illustrated this card. The same name is on 99 other cards in the catalog.
Poliwhirl (#061) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Poliwhirl 38/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kanako Eo illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Poliwhirl list a different HP.
The attack Rain Splash lists 20 damage. The cost is Water. Finishing Blow is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 50 more damage. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It can live in or out of water. When out of water, it constantly sweats to keep its body slimy."
I keep a set binder for Furious Fists, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Furious Fists set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Poliwhirl can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
