The attack Strike and Run lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for up to 3 Basic Pokémon and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck. If you put any Pokémon onto your Bench in this way, you may switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Sudden Flash is another attack lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It digs into the ground with its tail and makes a mazelike nest. It can fly just a little."

I keep a set binder for Celestial Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Celestial Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dunsparce can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
