The card includes two attacks: Irongrip, which costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage, and Poison Spore, which uses two Grass Energy to flip a coin. If the result is heads, the defending Pokémon is poisoned, and the attack inflicts 10 damage to each of the opponent's Benched Pokémon, ignoring their Weakness and Resistance. The Pokémon has a Fire-type weakness that multiplies damage by two. Its design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it is classified as a Common rarity card.
