If your opponent's Pokémon is Knocked Out by this attack, take another turn after this one. (Skip Pokémon Checkup.) If 1 of your Pokémon used Yoga Loop during your last turn, this attack can't be used. Smash Uppercut is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless.

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