Torkoal (#324) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Torkoal 12/97 in Dragon (2003). That card is named Torkoal, while this one is Team Magma's Torkoal. Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and K. Hoshiba illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 15 other cards of Torkoal list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads K. Hoshiba. I count 6 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Magma vs Team Aqua set binder is where a full Team Magma vs Team Aqua set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Torkoal can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Team Aqua and Team Magma. I still need this card.
