The attack Yawn lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew."

I keep a set binder for Lost Thunder, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Lost Thunder set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Slowpoke can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
