Pupitar (#247) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2025. The earliest other card is Pupitar 45/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Pupitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Mysterious Treasures set binder is where a full Mysterious Treasures set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pupitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
