The earliest other card is Phione 12/100 in Majestic Dawn (2008). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Illustration Rare. Daisuke Ito illustrated that card, and takashi shiraishi illustrated this one. 1 other cards of Phione list a different HP.

Twilight Masquerade set binder is where a full Twilight Masquerade set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Phione can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
