Muk (#089) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 24 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Muk 13/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Muk, while this one is Muk & Alolan Muk-GX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 270 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 28 other cards of Muk list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Unbroken Bonds set binder is where a full Unbroken Bonds set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Muk can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Alolan forms. I still need this card.
