Remove a number of damage counters from Oddish equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance) (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Oddish has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Awakened by moonlight, it roams actively at night. In the day it stays quietly underground."

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