Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and Masa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 8 other cards of Meltan list a different HP.

I keep a set binder for Temporal Forces, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Temporal Forces set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Meltan can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
