The earliest other card is Skuntank 15/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card is named Skuntank, while this one is Skuntank V. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 210 HP.

The attack Pursuit Blast lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. If that Pokémon retreated from the Active Spot during your opponent's last turn, this attack does 120 damage instead. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Shrieking Poison is another attack lists 90 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused and Poisoned. Weakness is Fighting ×2.

I keep a set binder for Silver Tempest, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Silver Tempest set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Skuntank can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
