The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Ultra. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and PLANETA Tsuji illustrated this one. 23 other cards of Genesect list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads PLANETA Tsuji. I count 81 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. Genesect can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
