Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and miki kudo illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Masquerain list a different HP.

I keep a set binder for Sun & Moon, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sun & Moon set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Masquerain can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
