The attack Salt Water lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for up to 2 Water Energy cards and attach them to Kingler. Shuffle your deck afterward. Hyper Pump is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each basic Energy attached to Kingler but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 40 damage in this way.

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