The earliest other card is Team Aqua's Walrein 6/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Aqua's Walrein, while this one is Walrein. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Ikuji illustrated that card, and Satoshi Shirai illustrated this one.

The illustrator line reads Satoshi Shirai. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Primal Clash set binder is where a full Primal Clash set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Walrein can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
