The attack Healing Melody lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Heal 10 damage from each of your Pokémon. Slam is another attack lists 30× damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Dragon ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "If its body takes on an aura, the weather changes instantly. It is said to live in seas and lakes."

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