As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may attach 1  Energy card to 1 of your Pokémon. (This doesn't use up your 1 Energy card attachment for the turn.) This power can't be used if Blastoise is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Release information
This card was released in the Base Set with an illustration by Ken Sugimori, first originating from the Japanese Expansion Pack. A print of this card was included in the Trainer Deck B with an exclusive red border and "Trainer Deck B" printed on the back of the card, distributed to prototype Pokémon Leagues before the TCG officially launched in North America. In Japan, this card was reprinted as a promotional card with different artwork by the same artist. It was first available through the "Trade Please" campaign that ran from February 10th to July 31st in 1998. A flyer included with the Trade Please album by Suzukisan had to be mailed to MediaFactory along with any two Pokémon trading cards within the campaign period. The Please Trade promotional card, as well as either this card, Venusaur, or Charizard would then be sent back, completing the trade. This print was later reprinted in the Intro Pack and again as part of the Pokémon Song Best Collection CD. The original Base Set print was later reprinted in the English Base Set 2 expansion.

Trivia
- The Blastoise cards released via the "Trade Please" campaign and the Pokémon Song Best Collection CD have the Pikachu Records logo in place of an expansion symbol.
- A few copies of the card lack the word "Stage" in the text in the upper right explaining how to play the card.
Origin
Rain Dance and Hydro Pump are both moves in the Pokémon games that Blastoise can learn, though Rain Dance did not become an actual attack until Generation II. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
