The earliest other card is Simisear 22/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Simisear list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 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. Simisear can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
