The earliest other card is Natu 67/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Natu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sumiyoshi Kizuki. I count 212 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Discovery set binder is where a full Neo Discovery set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Natu can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
