Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 31 other cards of Tauros list a different HP.

Platinum set binder is where a full Platinum set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tauros can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
