The earliest other card is Veluza 54/182 in Paradox Rift (2023). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Oswaldo KATO illustrated that card, and Anesaki Dynamic illustrated this one. 3 other cards of Veluza list a different HP.

Paldea Evolved set binder is where a full Paldea Evolved set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Veluza can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
