If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned. The attack Venoshock lists 90+ damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon is Poisoned, this attack does 90 more damage. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

Scolipede (#545) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Scolipede 54/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 150 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Masakazu Fukuda illustrated that card, and okayamatakatoshi illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Scolipede list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads okayamatakatoshi. I count 3 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Black Bolt set binder is where a full Black Bolt set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Scolipede can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Bug Pokémon. I still need this card.
