The attack Stretch Kick lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 20 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) High Jump Kick is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "When in a hurry, its legs lengthen progressively. It runs smoothly with extra long, loping strides."

I keep a set binder for Fossil, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Fossil set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hitmonlee can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
