Trivia

• Early prints of the card mistakenly list the weight as length.
• Although PoisonPowder uses CamelCase in the games, it uses normal case on this card.

Origin

Stiffen is similar to Harden, a move in the Pokémon games that Kakuna can learn. PoisonPowder is also a move in the games, but Kakuna cannot learn it. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, wheras the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
