The earliest other card is Yveltal XY06/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). Both list 130 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Uncommon. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Saya Tsuruta illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Yveltal list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Saya Tsuruta. I count 123 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Generations set binder is where a full Generations set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Yveltal can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Saya Tsuruta cards. I still need this card.
