(Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Hyper Beam is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Water +20. Retreat cost is 3.

I keep a set binder for Platinum, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Platinum set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Probopass can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
