The earliest other card is Suicune 53/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Suicune list a different HP.

Wind Charm is listed as Ability. As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, prevent all effects of your opponent's attacks, except damage, done to each of your Pokémon. (Existing effects are not removed.) The attack Aurora Beam lists 110 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Said to be the embodiment of north winds, it can instantly purify filthy, murky water."

I keep a set binder for BREAKpoint, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the BREAKpoint set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Suicune can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
