Card text

Jet Stream ジェットすいりゅう

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Blastoise is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to Blastoise, if any. Then, if there are any Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon, choose 1 of them and discard it. This power can't be used if Blastoise is affected by a Special Condition.

Energy Cannon エナジーキャノン 40+

Does 40 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Blastoise but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way.

Trivia

The Jet Stream Poké-POWER was later clarified to define the Energy discard from the Defending Pokémon as dependent on a successful Energy discard from Blastoise.

The art on the card is given lifelike textures and depicts blastoise as he appeared on the cover of Pokemon Blue Version through certain details. These include blastoise's cannons appearing to have closeable lids on his shell above his cannons and teeth jutting from his bottom jaw rather than the top. Blastoise's arms and skin look more organic as opposed to the more mechanical look that blastoise was given after the release of the anime.
