Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and match illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 7 other cards of Throh list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads match. I count 143 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Emerging Powers set binder is where a full Emerging Powers set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Throh can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
