Ancient Wind is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Aerodactyl is your Active Pokémon, you may ignore all Poké-Bodies until the end of your turn. This power can't be used if Aerodactyl is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Rising Lunge lists 20+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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