Claydol (#344) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Team Magma's Claydol 8/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Magma's Claydol, while this one is Claydol ex. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Zu-Ka illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Claydol list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ryo Ueda. I count 462 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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