Beartic (#614) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Beartic 30/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 7 other cards of Beartic list a different HP.

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

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