The attack Hydra Breath lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Discard 6 Basic Grass Energy cards from your hand, and Knock Out your opponent's Active Pokémon. If you can't discard 6 cards in this way, this attack does nothing. Whip Smash is another attack lists 140 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The regulation mark is I.

I keep a set binder for Destined Rivals, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Destined Rivals set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hydrapple can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
