The earliest other card is Weezing 45/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 23 other cards of Weezing list a different HP.

Camouflage Gas is listed as Poké-Body. If Weezing is Confused and is Knocked Out, your opponent can't take a Prize card. The attack Damage Breakdown lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Count the number of damage counters on Weezing. Put that many damage counters on the Defending Pokémon and Weezing is now Confused. Smog is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Psychic. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Psychic +20. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Rising Rivals, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Rising Rivals set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Weezing can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
