Overrun is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Water ×2. The flavor text reads "Very competitive, this Pokémon will chase anything that moves fast in the hopes of racing it."

I keep a set binder for Flashfire, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Flashfire set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rapidash can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
