The earliest other card is Kyurem-EX BW37/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 180 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Shizurow illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Kyurem list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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