Smooth Over is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a card. Shuffle your deck, then put that card on top of your deck. This power can't be used if Magcargo is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Knock Over lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. You may discard any Stadium card in play. Combustion is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

I keep a set binder for Deoxys, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Deoxys set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magcargo can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
