Meloetta (#648) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Meloetta BW68/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). That card is named Meloetta, while this one is Meloetta ex. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 200 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Ultra Rare. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Meloetta list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Black Bolt set binder is where a full Black Bolt set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Meloetta can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on. I still need this card.
