The cost is Water, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. The flavor text reads "This is Castform's form when pelted by rain. In an experiment where it was placed in a shower, this Pokémon didn't change to this form." The regulation mark is E.

I keep a set binder for Chilling Reign, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Chilling Reign set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Castform can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are sowsow cards. I still need this card.
