The earliest other card is Vigoroth 47/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Vigoroth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads nagimiso. I count 156 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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