Xatu (#178) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Xatu 52/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Xatu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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