Delibird (#225) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Delibird 5/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Delibird list a different HP.

Gift Exchange is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Delibird is your Active Pokémon, you may shuffle 1 card from your hand into your deck. Then, draw a card. This power can't be used if Delibird is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Souvenir lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. If 1 of them is heads, put 4 damage counters on the Defending Pokémon. If 2 of them are heads, remove 1 damage counter from the Defending Pokémon. If all of them are heads, put 10 damage counters on the Defending Pokémon. If all of them are tails, remove all damage counters from the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Team Rocket Returns, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Rocket Returns set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Delibird can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards. I still need this card.
