Crobat (#169) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Crobat 4/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and SATOSHI NAKAI illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Crobat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads SATOSHI NAKAI. I count 58 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Battle Styles set binder is where a full Battle Styles set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Crobat can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
