The earliest other card is Sinistcha 22/167 in Twilight Masquerade (2024). That card is named Sinistcha, while this one is Sinistcha ex. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 240 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Double Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and aky CG Works illustrated this one. 2 other cards of Sinistcha 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. Sinistcha can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
