The earliest other card is Staraptor 16/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card is named Staraptor, while this one is Larry's Staraptor. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Masahiko Ishii illustrated that card, and Po-Suzuki illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Staraptor list a different HP.

The attack Facade lists 60+ damage. The cost is Colorless. If this Pokémon is Burned or Poisoned, this attack does 100 more damage. Feathery Strike is another attack lists 150 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Discard 2 Energy from this Pokémon, and this attack also does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It never stops attacking even if it is injured. It fusses over the shape of its comb." The regulation mark is J.

I keep a set binder for Ascended Heroes, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ascended Heroes set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Staraptor can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Bird Pokémon. I still need this card.
