The earliest other card is Zangoose 14/100 in Sandstorm (2003). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Zangoose list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Great Encounters set binder is where a full Great Encounters set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zangoose can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
