This card
This is Miraidon ex, card number 028 from the SVP Black Star Promos set, printed in 2023 as a holofoil promotional card. The artwork, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, depicts Miraidon in a dynamic pose amid streaks of electrical energy.

How it plays
Miraidon ex is a Basic Lightning-type Pokemon with 220 HP, weak to Fighting-type attacks at double damage, with no listed resistance and a retreat cost of one. Its ability, Tandem Unit, lets the player search their deck once per turn for up to two Basic Lightning Pokemon and put them onto the bench, then shuffle the deck. Its attack, Photon Blaster, costs two Lightning Energy and one Colorless Energy, deals 220 damage, but prevents the Pokemon from attacking on the following turn.
