Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and HYOGONOSUKE illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 1. 39 other cards of Zapdos list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads HYOGONOSUKE. I count 76 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

30th Celebration set binder is where a full 30th Celebration set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zapdos can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
