Floatzel (#419) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Floatzel 26/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Masahiko Ishii illustrated that card, and Kanako Eo illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Floatzel list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kanako Eo. I count 99 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Flashfire set binder is where a full Flashfire set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Floatzel can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
