The earliest other card is Xerneas XY05/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Xerneas, while this one is Xerneas-EX. That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 170 HP.

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

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