Drapion (#452) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Drapion 23/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card is named Drapion, while this one is Drapion V. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 210 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Ultra. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Drapion list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Eske Yoshinob. I count 177 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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