This card
This is Iron Treads ex, promo number 073 from the SVP Black Star Promos set, tied to the Paldean Fates release. It is a full art holofoil card illustrated by 5ban Graphics, showing a close-up of the Pokemon's rolling, drill-tipped metallic form against a sparkling background. The card carries the Future-type promo card treatment used for Paradox Pokemon ex cards.
How it plays
Iron Treads ex is a Basic Pokemon with 220 HP, weak to Fire x2 and resistant to Grass -30, with a retreat cost of three. Its single attack, Iron-Clad Roll, costs two Psychic energy and one Colorless energy, deals 150 damage, and lets the player discard all Future Booster Energy Capsules from it afterward; doing so reduces damage taken from the opponent's next attack by 150 after Weakness and Resistance. As a Pokemon ex, it gives up two Prize cards when knocked out.
