Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may look at the top 6 cards of your deck, reveal a Pokémon you find there, and put it into your hand.

Manaphy (#490) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Manaphy 9/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Narumi Sato illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Manaphy list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Narumi Sato. I count 44 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Shining Fates set binder is where a full Shining Fates set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Manaphy can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on. I still need this card.
