Dragonite (#149) has 48 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dragonite 5/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 47 other cards of Dragonite list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HS—Triumphant set binder is where a full HS—Triumphant set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dragonite can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
