The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Illustration Rare. Kazuo Yazawa illustrated that card, and Nurikabe illustrated this one. 26 other cards of Groudon list a different HP.

Paradox Rift set binder is where a full Paradox Rift set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Groudon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Box-art legendaries and Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza. I still need this card.
