Trivia

• This card was the first Pokémon card with no attacks of its own.
• This card was not included in Pokémon Trading Card Game or Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR! due to its potentially difficult to program Pokémon Power. It shares this trait with Electrode.
• This is the only card that mentions "Hit Points" instead of the abbreviation "HP" in its English text.
