If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 60 more damage. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Black Bolt, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Black Bolt set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bisharp can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
