Mantine (#226) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Mantine 64/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 12 other cards of Mantine list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sumiyoshi Kizuki. I count 212 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. Mantine can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
