Whiscash (#340) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2005 to 2023. The earliest other card is Whiscash 28/107 in Deoxys (2005). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Miki Tanaka illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Whiscash list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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