Gentle Kick is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. If the Defending Pokémon has no damage counters on it, this attack does 40 damage. If it has any, this attack does 20 damage. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon never gets tired, no matter what it does or how hard it works."

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