Go for a Swim is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 2 cards of your deck and put them back in any order. The attack Ice Beam lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "These Pokémon were once near extinction due to poaching. Following protective regulations, there is now an overabundance of them."

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. Lapras can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
