Linoone (#264) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Linoone 38/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Linoone, while this one is Galarian Linoone. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and sowsow illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Linoone list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads sowsow. I count 104 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Fusion Strike set binder is where a full Fusion Strike set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Linoone can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms and sowsow cards. I still need this card.
