Rotom (#479) has 49 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2026. The earliest other card is Rotom 7/106 in Great Encounters (2008). That card is named Rotom, while this one is Frost Rotom. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Daisuke Ito illustrated that card, and Hironobu Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 40 other cards of Rotom list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hironobu Yoshida. I count 38 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Rising Rivals set binder is where a full Rising Rivals set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rotom can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
