Grookey (#810) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2019 to 2024. The earliest other card is Grookey SWSH001/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos (2019). That card is named Grookey, while this one is Grookey on the Ball. Both list 60 HP. kirisAki illustrated that card, and The Pokémon Company Art Team illustrated this one. 2 other cards of Grookey list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads The Pokémon Company Art Team. I count 15 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pokémon Futsal Collection set binder is where a full Pokémon Futsal Collection set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Grookey can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galar starters and Flower Pokémon. I still need this card.
