Xurkitree (#796) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 5 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2019. The earliest other card is Xurkitree-GX SM68/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). That card is named Xurkitree-GX, while this one is Xurkitree. That card lists 180 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and TOKIYA illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 4 other cards of Xurkitree list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads TOKIYA. I count 93 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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