Tepig (#498) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Tepig BW02/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Uninori illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Tepig list a different HP.
The illustrator line reads Uninori. I count 12 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.
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. Tepig can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
