Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and Uta illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 13 other cards of Spiritomb list a different HP.

The attack Ticking Terror lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Until the end of your next turn, the Defending Pokémon's Weakness is now Darkness. (The amount of Weakness doesn't change.) Cursed Drop is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness. Put 2 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Exactly 108 spirits gathered to become this Pokémon. Apparently there are some ill-natured spirits in the mix." The regulation mark is F.

I keep a set binder for Brilliant Stars, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Brilliant Stars set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Spiritomb can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
