The earliest other card is Shroomish 69/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Shroomish list a different HP.

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. Shroomish can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
