Aurorus (#699) has 4 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 3 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2013 to 2026. The earliest other card is Aurorus-EX XY102/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Aurorus-EX, while this one is Aurorus. That card lists 180 HP, and this one lists 160 HP.

Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 4 other cards of Aurorus list a different HP.

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

Forbidden Light set binder is where a full Forbidden Light set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Aurorus can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
