Yanmega (#469) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Yanmega 17/146 in Legends Awakened (2008). That card is named Yanmega, while this one is Yanmega E4. Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Yanmega list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Rising Rivals set binder is where a full Rising Rivals set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Yanmega can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
