The attack Smokescreen lists 10 damage. The cost is Fire. If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It is very meek and constantly crouches in a defensive posture. When threatened, it protects itself with the flame on its back."

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