Manaphy (#490) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Manaphy 9/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Manaphy list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

POP Series 6 set binder is where a full POP Series 6 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Manaphy can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
