Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and sui illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Lanturn list a different HP.

HS—Unleashed set binder is where a full HS—Unleashed set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lanturn can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
