Basculin (#550) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Basculin 35/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Illustration Rare. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and Nakamura Ippan illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Basculin list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nakamura Ippan. I count 3 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

White Flare set binder is where a full White Flare set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Basculin can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
