Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Swoobat list a different HP.

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. Swoobat can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
