The earliest other card is Zarude V 22/185 in Vivid Voltage (2020). That card is named Zarude V, while this one is Zarude. That card lists 210 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo V, and here it is Rare Holo. PLANETA Igarashi illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is D, and here it is E. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 7 other cards of Zarude list a different HP.

The attack Pack Call lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Search your deck for a Grass Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you go second and it's your first turn, search for up to 3 Grass Pokémon instead of 1. Then, shuffle your deck. Repeated Whip is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 more damage for each Grass Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Once the vines on Zarude's body tear off, they become nutrients in the soil. This helps the plants of the forest grow." The regulation mark is E.

I keep a set binder for Chilling Reign, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Chilling Reign set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zarude can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). I still need this card.
