Palkia (#484) has 39 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Palkia 11/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 35 other cards of Palkia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ayaka Yoshida. I count 128 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Call of Legends set binder is where a full Call of Legends set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Palkia can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
