Ribombee (#743) has 6 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 5 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ribombee 93/149 in Sun & Moon (2017). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and Saya Tsuruta illustrated this one. 2 other cards of Ribombee list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Saya Tsuruta. I count 123 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. Ribombee can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
