Buddy Pulse is listed as Ability. If you have Plusle in play, whenever your opponent attaches an Energy card from their hand to 1 of their Pokémon, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon. The effect of Buddy Pulse doesn't stack. The attack Speed Ball lists 20 damage. The cost is Lightning. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It cheers on friends. If its friends are losing, its body lets off more and more sparks." The regulation mark is G.

I keep a set binder for Paradox Rift, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Paradox Rift set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Minun can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
