The earliest other card is Greninja-EX XY20/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Greninja-EX, while this one is Greninja V-UNION. That card lists 170 HP, and this one lists 300 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 31 other cards of Greninja list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SWSH Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SWSH Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Greninja can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kalos starters and Froakie, Frogadier, and Greninja. I still need this card.
