Skarmory (#227) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Skarmory 13/111 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 Katsura Tabata illustrated this one. 29 other cards of Skarmory list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Katsura Tabata. I count 35 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. Skarmory can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
