Rotom (#479) has 49 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2026. The earliest other card is Rotom 7/106 in Great Encounters (2008). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Daisuke Ito illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 35 other cards of Rotom list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ultra Prism set binder is where a full Ultra Prism set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rotom can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
