Stakataka (#805) has 6 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 4 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2019. The earliest other card is Stakataka SM180/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). That card is named Stakataka, while this one is Stakataka-GX. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Hiroki Asanuma illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 4, and here it is 3. 3 other cards of Stakataka list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Celestial Storm set binder is where a full Celestial Storm set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Stakataka can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). Themed lists that include this exact card are Ultra Beasts. I still need this card.
