Morpeko (#877) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2019 to 2026. The earliest other card is Morpeko SWSH012/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos (2019). That card is named Morpeko, while this one is Morpeko V-UNION. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 310 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Yuu Nishida illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is D, and here it is E. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 29 other cards of Morpeko list a different HP.

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

SWSH Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SWSH Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Morpeko can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pikachu's friends and Dedenne and Morpeko. I still need this card.
