Golisopod (#768) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2026. The earliest other card is Golisopod SM52/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). That card is named Golisopod, while this one is Golisopod-GX. That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 210 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Rainbow. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 10 other cards of Golisopod list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Burning Shadows set binder is where a full Burning Shadows set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golisopod can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
