Chespin (#650) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 6 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2013 to 2026. The earliest other card is Chespin XY01/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 2 other cards of Chespin list a different HP.

The attack Pin Missile lists 10× damage. The cost is Grass. Flip 4 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The quills on its head are usually soft. When it flexes them, the points become so hard and sharp that they can pierce rock."

I keep a set binder for XY, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the XY set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Chespin can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kalos starters. I still need this card.
