Zoroark (#571) has 40 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Zoroark BW09/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 32 other cards of Zoroark list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

XY set binder is where a full XY set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zoroark can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
