Spheal (#363) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2024. The earliest other card is Team Aqua's Spheal 56/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Aqua's Spheal, while this one is Spheal. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and SATOSHI NAKAI illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 11 other cards of Spheal list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads SATOSHI NAKAI. I count 58 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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