Simipour (#516) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Simipour 34/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Simipour list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shigenori Negishi. I count 151 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Darkness Ablaze set binder is where a full Darkness Ablaze set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Simipour can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
