The earliest other card is Larvesta 19/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Satoshi Shirai illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Larvesta list a different HP.
The attack Combustion lists 30 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The base of volcanoes is where they make their homes. They shoot fire from their five horns to repel attacking enemies."
I keep a set binder for Ancient Origins, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ancient Origins set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Larvesta can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
