This card
This is Baltoy from the Ancient Origins set, numbered 32/98 with common rarity, printed in 2015. The card features a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon with 60 HP and carries the Ω Stop ability text, set against an illustration by Ayaka Yoshida depicting Baltoy spinning above a desert landscape at dusk.
How it plays
As a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon with 60 HP, this card has the Ω Stop effect, which prevents all effects of the opponent's Pokémon's Abilities done to this Pokémon. Its attack, Future Spin, costs one Psychic energy and lets the player look at the top 3 cards of either player's deck and rearrange them in any order. It has a weakness to Psychic-type attacks (×2), no listed resistance, and a retreat cost of one energy.
