Once during your turn, when you put Vaporeon Star from your hand onto your Bench, you may remove all Special Conditions and 3 damage counters from each Active Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's). The attack Whirlpool lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: You can't have more than 1 Pokémon Star in your deck.

I keep a set binder for Power Keepers, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Power Keepers set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vaporeon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions and Prism Star and Star cards. I still need this card.
