The earliest other card is Voltorb 67/102 in Base (1999). Both list 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 30 other cards of Voltorb list a different HP.
The attack Speed Ball lists 20 damage. The cost is Lightning. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Usually seen only in power plants, it is sometimes seen in towns, apparently using the power lines to travel."
I keep a set binder for Team Rocket, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Rocket set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Voltorb can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
