Dewgong (#087) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dewgong 25/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Dewgong, while this one is Misty's Dewgong. Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 10 other cards of Dewgong list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Challenge set binder is where a full Gym Challenge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dewgong can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Misty and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
