The earliest other card is Samurott BW22/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. 13 other cards of Samurott list a different HP.

Shell Armor is listed as Ability. Any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Hydro Pump lists 70+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Does 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Part of the armor on its anterior legs becomes a giant sword. Its cry alone is enough to intimidate most enemies."

I keep a set binder for Black & White, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Black & White set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Samurott can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
