(Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Tackle is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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