The earliest other card is Rayquaza ex 39/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card is named Rayquaza ex, while this one is Rayquaza. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 80 HP.

Dragon Aura is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Rayquaza has any basic Fire Energy cards and any basic Lightning Energy cards attached to it, prevent all effects, except damage, by an opponent's attack done to Rayquaza. The attack Tumbling Attack lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Colorless ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Deoxys, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Deoxys set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rayquaza can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
