The attack Bubble Pod lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Put a Water Pokémon from your discard pile onto your Bench. If you do, attach up to 3 Water Energy cards from your discard pile to that Pokémon. Max Torrent is another attack lists 100+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless.

I keep a set binder for SWSH Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SWSH Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vaporeon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions, VMAX cards, and Rapid Strike. I still need this card.
