The earliest other card is Grovyle 31/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Grovyle list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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