The illustrator line reads kantaro. I count 33 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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