The earliest other card is Klang 75/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon.

The illustrator line reads Hataya. I count 8 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Brilliant Stars set binder is where a full Brilliant Stars set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Klang can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
