Tropius (#357) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Tropius 27/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card is named Tropius, while this one is Tropius δ. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Tropius list a different HP.

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

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