The earliest other card is Poltchageist 20/167 in Twilight Masquerade (2024). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. MINAMINAMI Take illustrated that card, and Souichirou Gunjima illustrated this one. 3 other cards of Poltchageist 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. Poltchageist can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Halloween: Ghost Pokémon, Sweets and snacks Pokémon, and Tiny Pokémon. I still need this card.
