If you discarded a Pokémon, this attack does damage equal to the HP of that Pokémon. Brick Break is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic +20. Retreat cost is 1.

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