The attack Shining Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Metal, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Fangs of the Sunne is another attack lists 170 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless. This Pokémon can't use Fangs of the Sunne during your next turn. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It is said to live in another world. The intense light it radiates from the surface of its body can make the darkest of nights light up like midday."

I keep a set binder for Guardians Rising, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Guardians Rising set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Solgaleo can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
