Mawile (#303) has 35 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Mawile 9/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card is named Mawile, while this one is Mawile VSTAR. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 260 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo VSTAR. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and PLANETA Mochizuki illustrated this one. 34 other cards of Mawile list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads PLANETA Mochizuki. I count 131 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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