Veluza (#976) has 5 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 5 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2023 to 2025. The earliest other card is Veluza 56/193 in Paldea Evolved (2023). That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Anesaki Dynamic illustrated that card, and Oswaldo KATO illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Veluza list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Oswaldo KATO. I count 84 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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. Veluza can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
