The earliest other card is Emolga 32/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Tomowaka illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Emolga list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomowaka. I count 4 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Black Bolt set binder is where a full Black Bolt set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Emolga can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pikachu's friends. I already have this card.
