Torkoal (#324) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Torkoal 12/97 in Dragon (2003). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Hideaki Hakozaki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 15 other cards of Torkoal list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hideaki Hakozaki. I count 35 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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. Torkoal can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
