Manectric (#310) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Manectric 9/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Manectric, while this one is Manectric-EX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 170 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Eske Yoshinob. I count 177 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. Manectric can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
