Palkia (#484) has 39 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Palkia 11/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card is named Palkia, while this one is Palkia-EX. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one. 31 other cards of Palkia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Eske Yoshinob. I count 177 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BREAKpoint set binder is where a full BREAKpoint set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Palkia can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. I still need this card.
