Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Attack: Strange Scent
Each player flips a coin. Each player who gets heads chooses a total of 3 damage counters from among his or her Pokémon and removes them. (If the player's Pokémon have fewer total damage counters than that, he or she removes all of them.)
Attack: Razor Leaf (30)
A sure sign spring is on its way is when the seed on this Pokémon's back flowers.
