The attack Thunder Spear lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Thundershock is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1.

The earliest other card is Flaaffy 34/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Flaaffy list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Call of Legends set binder is where a full Call of Legends set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Flaaffy can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
