The earliest other card is Tyranitar 12/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 41 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads nagimiso. I count 156 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. Tyranitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
