The attack Healing Wave lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Discard as many cards as you like from your hand. Heal 10 damage from this Pokémon for each card you discarded in this way. Dwindling Wave is another attack lists 90- damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. This attack does 90 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "While elegantly swimming in the sea, it ignores Remoraid that cling to its fins seeking food scraps."

Mantine (#226) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Mantine 64/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and DemizuPosuka illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Mantine list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads DemizuPosuka. I count 4 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Steam Siege set binder is where a full Steam Siege set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mantine can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
