The earliest other card is Metang 23/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. 15 other cards of Metang list a different HP.

The attack Metal Load lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your discard pile for a Metal Energy card and attach it to Metang. Metal Claw is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Hidden Legends, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Hidden Legends set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Metang can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
