Palafin (#964) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2023 to 2026. The earliest other card is Palafin ex 126/102 in Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos (2023). That card is named Palafin ex, while this one is Palafin. That card lists 340 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. PLANETA Mochizuki illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is H, and here it is G. 5 other cards of Palafin list a different HP.
The illustrator line reads nagimiso. I count 156 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.
Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set binder is where a full Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Palafin can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
