Giratina (#487) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Giratina LV.X DP38/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Giratina LV.X, while this one is Giratina. That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Shizurow illustrated that card, and Kazuaki Aihara illustrated this one. 26 other cards of Giratina list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kazuaki Aihara. I count 11 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legends Awakened set binder is where a full Legends Awakened set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Giratina can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. I still need this card.
