Latias (#380) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Latias 14/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Yuu Nishida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 30 other cards of Latias list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yuu Nishida. I count 65 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Fusion Strike set binder is where a full Fusion Strike set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latias can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Latias and Latios. I still need this card.
