Dustox (#269) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dustox 6/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Dustox list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Akira Komayama. I count 239 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. Dustox can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
