The earliest other card is Chesnaught-EX XY18/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Chesnaught-EX, while this one is Chesnaught.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Kalos Starter Set set binder is where a full Kalos Starter Set set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Chesnaught can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
