The earliest other card is Paldean Clodsire ex 130/193 in Paldea Evolved (2023). That card is named Paldean Clodsire ex, while this one is Paldean Clodsire. That card lists 280 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Double Rare, and here it is Uncommon. PLANETA Mochizuki illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Clodsire list a different HP.

Obsidian Flames set binder is where a full Obsidian Flames set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Clodsire can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hisuian and Paldean forms. I still need this card.
