Flygon (#330) has 27 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Flygon 25/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). Both list 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Hisao Nakamura illustrated this one. 23 other cards of Flygon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hisao Nakamura. I count 71 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

POP Series 4 set binder is where a full POP Series 4 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Flygon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
