Simisear (#514) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Simisear 22/114 in Black & White (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and kirisAki illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Simisear list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kirisAki. I count 189 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Burning Shadows set binder is where a full Burning Shadows set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Simisear can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
