The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo V. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Rhyperior list a different HP.

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. Rhyperior can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
