The earliest other card is Rufflet 86/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). That card is named Rufflet, while this one is Larry's Rufflet. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and cochi8i illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Rufflet list a different HP.

Ascended Heroes set binder is where a full Ascended Heroes set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rufflet can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Bird Pokémon, and Berries and fruit. I still need this card.
