Larvesta (#636) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Larvesta 19/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 10 other cards of Larvesta list a different HP.
The attack Flare lists 30 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Said to have been born from the sun, it spews fire from its horns and encases itself in a cocoon of fire when it evolves."
I keep a set binder for Shining Legends, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Shining Legends set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Larvesta can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
