The earliest other card is Darmanitan 25/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Darmanitan list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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