The earliest other card is Poliwrath 13/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Poliwrath, while this one is Misty's Poliwrath. Both list 90 HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Heroes set binder is where a full Gym Heroes set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Poliwrath can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Misty and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
