The earliest other card is Slowbro 43/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Mina Nakai illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 25 other cards of Slowbro list a different HP.

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