Altaria is Pokédex #334, generation 3 (Hoenn). Altaria is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Swablu. In this catalog that name is Swablu (#333).

Altaria (#334) has 38 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Altaria 2/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Taira Akitsu illustrated this one. 36 other cards of Altaria list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Taira Akitsu. I count 56 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Champion's Path set binder is where a full Champion's Path set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Altaria can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
