The earliest other card is Solgaleo-GX 89/149 in Sun & Moon (2017). Both list 250 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo GX, and here it is Rare Rainbow. PLANETA illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Solgaleo list a different HP.

Sun & Moon set binder is where a full Sun & Moon set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Solgaleo can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
