Marshtomp (#259) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2021. The earliest other card is Marshtomp 40/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 9 other cards of Marshtomp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sumiyoshi Kizuki. I count 212 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Great Encounters set binder is where a full Great Encounters set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Marshtomp can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
