Venomoth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Venomoth (#049), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Venonat. In this catalog that name is Venonat (#048).

Venomoth (#049) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Venomoth 13/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Venomoth list a different HP.

The attack Dizzying Wind lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Whenever your opponent plays a Trainer card from his or her hand during his or her next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that card has no effect. (Your opponent still discards that card.) Noxious Scales is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused and Poisoned. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The scales it scatters will paralyze anyone who touches them, making that person unable to stand."

I keep a set binder for Phantom Forces, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Phantom Forces set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Venomoth can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
