The attack Allure lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Draw 2 cards. Ground Melter is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. If a Stadium is in play, this attack does 60 more damage. Then, discard that Stadium. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The envy accumulated within curved beads that sparked multiple conflicts has clad itself in fire and become a Pokémon." The regulation mark is H.

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