This power can't be used if Starmie is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Collect lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Draw 3 cards. Energy Loop is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Metal. Return an Energy card attached to Starmie to your hand. Weakness is Lightning ×2. The card text says: This Pokémon is both Water Metal type.

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