The earliest other card is Grovyle 32/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Grovyle list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ruby & Sapphire set binder is where a full Ruby & Sapphire set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Grovyle can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
