Torkoal (#324) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Torkoal 12/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Torkoal list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Suwama Chiaki. I count 102 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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