Rain Dance is listed as Poké-Power. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may attach a Water Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Water Pokémon. This power can't be used if Feraligatr is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Hydro Crunch lists 60+ damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water, Water. Does 60 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

I keep a set binder for HeartGold & SoulSilver, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the HeartGold & SoulSilver set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Feraligatr can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Johto starters. I still need this card.
