Dustox (#269) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dustox 6/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Dustox, while this one is Dustox ex. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Dustox list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legend Maker set binder is where a full Legend Maker set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dustox can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
