Garchomp (#445) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Garchomp C LV.X DP46/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Garchomp C LV.X, while this one is Garchomp V. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 200 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Shizurow illustrated that card, and N-DESIGN Inc. illustrated this one. 34 other cards of Garchomp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads N-DESIGN Inc.. I count 68 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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