Torkoal (#324) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Torkoal 12/97 in Dragon (2003). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 15 other cards of Torkoal list a different HP.

The attack Cry for Help lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for a Fire Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex), show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Fireworks is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, discard a Fire Energy attached to Torkoal. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Legend Maker, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legend Maker set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Torkoal can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Atsuko Nishida cards, early series. I still need this card.
