The earliest other card is Tarountula 16/198 in Scarlet & Violet (2023). That card is named Tarountula, while this one is Team Rocket's Tarountula. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Tika Matsuno illustrated that card, and Saboteri illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is G, and here it is I. 5 other cards of Tarountula list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Saboteri. I count 15 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ascended Heroes set binder is where a full Ascended Heroes set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tarountula can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Team Rocket cards, and Bug Pokémon. I still need this card.
