This attack does 30 more damage times the amount of Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The eyeball patterns on the interior of its ears emit psychic energy. It keeps the patterns tightly covered because that power is too immense."

I keep a set binder for Forbidden Light, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Forbidden Light set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Meowstic can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
