The earliest other card is Tropius 27/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 11 other cards of Tropius list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kyoko Umemoto. I count 174 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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