The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Guardians Rising set binder is where a full Guardians Rising set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Whiscash can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
