(Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Leaf Step is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "I suspect that its well-developed legs are the result of a life spent on mountains covered in deep snow.

I keep a set binder for Astral Radiance, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Astral Radiance set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lilligant can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hisuian and Paldean forms and Flower Pokémon. I still need this card.
