Quagsire (#195) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2023. The earliest other card is Quagsire 45/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Quagsire list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Aquapolis set binder is where a full Aquapolis set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Quagsire can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
