Charmeleon (#005) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 31 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Charmeleon 24/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 25 other cards of Charmeleon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Akira Komayama. I count 239 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legendary Treasures set binder is where a full Legendary Treasures set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Charmeleon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
