Igglybuff (#174) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Igglybuff 36/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Miki Tanaka illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Igglybuff list a different HP.

Hover Lift is listed as Poké-Body. You pay Colorless less to retreat your Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Wigglytuff ex, and Igglybuff. Baby Evolution is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Jigglypuff from your hand onto Igglybuff (this counts as evolving Igglybuff) and remove all damage counters from Igglybuff. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Crystal Guardians, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crystal Guardians set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Igglybuff can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Baby Pokémon. I still need this card.
