Jumbo Fin is listed as Poké-Body. If Mantyke is anywhere under Mantine, the Retreat Cost for each of your Water Pokémon is ColorlessColorless less. The attack Giant Wave lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Water. Mantine can't use Giant Wave during your next turn. Weakness is Lightning +20. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "When the waves are calm, one may encounter a swarm of Mantine swimming as if they are in flight."

I keep a set binder for Mysterious Treasures, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Mysterious Treasures set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mantine can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
