The earliest other card is Electrode 21/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Shiny Rare. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Electrode list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Paldean Fates set binder is where a full Paldean Fates set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Electrode can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
