Creep Show is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon has 3 or more damage counters on it, that Pokémon is Knocked Out. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "Hiding in people's shadows at night, it absorbs their heat. The chill it causes makes the victims shake."

I keep a set binder for BREAKthrough, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the BREAKthrough set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gengar can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Gengar and the Gastly line. I still need this card.
