The earliest other card is Gyarados 6/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Gyarados, while this one is Gyarados δ. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 52 other cards of Gyarados list a different HP.

Delta Reactor is listed as Poké-Body. As long as any Stadium card with Holon in its name is in play, each of your Pokémon that has δ on its card does 10 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Hyper Beam lists 20 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Heavy Impact is another attack lists 80 damage.

I keep a set binder for Holon Phantoms, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Holon Phantoms set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gyarados can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards and Magikarp and Gyarados. I still need this card.
