Lunar Eclipse is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Solrock is in play, you may use this power. Until the end of your turn, Lunatone's type is Darkness. This power can't be used if Lunatone is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Cosmic Draw lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. If your opponent has any Evolved Pokémon in play, draw 3 cards. Lunar Blast is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Sandstorm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sandstorm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lunatone can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
