Swoobat (#528) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Swoobat 51/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and sui illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Swoobat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads sui. I count 194 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BREAKthrough set binder is where a full BREAKthrough set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Swoobat can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
