Frosty Typhoon is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This Pokémon can't use Frosty Typhoon during your next turn. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It freezes its prey and chews them whole. However, it prefers to eat Pokémon like Vanillite that are already frozen."

I keep a set binder for Cosmic Eclipse, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Cosmic Eclipse set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Glalie can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
