Cacturne (#332) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Cacturne 2/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card is named Cacturne, while this one is Team Aqua's Cacturne. Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and K. Utsunomiya illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 9 other cards of Cacturne list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads K. Utsunomiya. I count 5 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Magma vs Team Aqua set binder is where a full Team Magma vs Team Aqua set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cacturne can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Team Aqua and Team Magma, and Card number 1. I still need this card.
