Excadrill (#530) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Excadrill 56/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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