Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Hippowdon list a different HP.

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