The earliest other card is Chinchou 55/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 50 HP. Both list the rarity Common.

The attack Positive Ion lists 10+ damage. The cost is Lightning. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage. If tails, this attack does 10 damage. Negative Ion is another attack lists 10 damage. The cost is Water. If the Defending Pokémon attacks Chinchou during your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Chinchou is reduced by 10 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). (Benching or evolving either Pokémon ends this effect.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "On the dark ocean floor, its only means of communication is its constantly flashing lights."

I keep a set binder for Neo Revelation, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Revelation set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Chinchou can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
