Floatzel (#419) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Floatzel 26/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Masahiko Ishii illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Floatzel list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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