Armarouge (#936) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2023 to 2026. The earliest other card is Armarouge ex 105/102 in Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos (2023). That card is named Armarouge ex, while this one is Armarouge. That card lists 260 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. PLANETA Tsuji illustrated that card, and Jiro Sasumo illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is H, and here it is J. 9 other cards of Armarouge list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Jiro Sasumo. I count 29 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pitch Black set binder is where a full Pitch Black set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Armarouge can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
