The attack Screech lists no damage number. If an attack does damage to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does 20 more damage to that Pokémon until the end of your next turn. Double Spin is another attack lists 10× damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting +10. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It looks just like a Poké Ball. It is dangerous because it may electrocute or explode on touch."

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