Drapion (#452) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Drapion 23/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and SATOSHI NAKAI illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 15 other cards of Drapion list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads SATOSHI NAKAI. I count 58 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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