Heracross (#214) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Heracross 6/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 24 other cards of Heracross list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 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. Heracross can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
