The earliest other card is Basculin 35/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and SATOSHI NAKAI illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Basculin list a different HP.

The attack Swarming Bites lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. This attack does 20 damage for each Basculin you have in play to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Tackle is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Savage, violent Pokémon, red and blue Basculin are always fighting each other over territory."

I keep a set binder for Unified Minds, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Unified Minds set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Basculin can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
