Malamar (#687) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2013 to 2026. The earliest other card is Malamar XY58/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Malamar, while this one is Malamar-EX. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 170 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Ultra. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Malamar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ryo Ueda. I count 462 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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