Thanks to its unstable genetic makeup, this special Pokémon conceals many different possible evolutions.

The artwork for this card is interesting. It obviously features a Rayquaza, but the JP set this card is from, S6a Eevee Heroes, didn’t have any Rayquaza card in it. But there is a Rayquaza in this, the English set, Evolving Skies (which came from S7R Blue Sky Stream).
This kind of thing has happened before, but not quite like this. Sometimes artwork in a Japanese subset, let’s say X1a, will reference a card from its main set, X1, and both will get adapted into the same English set. In that case it makes sense in both contexts. But this Eevee card – which is probably, but not definitely* – referencing Rayquaza makes sense only in Evolving Skies, and a bit too jumbled in set order to make sense in the Japanese TCG.
* If you want the counterarguments; this can all be seen as a bit of a reach, since none of the Rayquaza cards in Evolving Skies reference Eevee or the location in their artwork. Rayquaza just happens to be in this artwork. You could also argue that this artwork is foreshadowing S7R coming out after the Eevee set. (Ok but why? To the best of my recollection, none of the cards in Eevee Heroes ‘foreshadow’ Duralduron from S7D.)
