If you do, discard all cards attached to this Pokémon and put it on the bottom of your deck. The attack Rain Splash lists 10 damage. The cost is Water. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "When the water warms, they inflate the flotation sac on their heads and drift languidly on the sea in packs."

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. Phione can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
