The earliest other card is Slowpoke 55/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Miki Tanaka illustrated that card, and Nelnal illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 24 other cards of Slowpoke list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nelnal. I count 18 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. Slowpoke can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
