It includes two attacks: "Poison Sting" costs one Fighting and one Colorless energy, dealing 30 damage and poisoning the Defending Pokémon, while "Fury Swipes" requires one Fighting and two Colorless energy, dealing 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from three flipped coins. The card was designed by artist Yukiko Baba and released in the HeartGold & SoulSilver set on February 10, 2010, as a Rare card. Its flavor text describes a scenario where the Pokémon digs rapidly, potentially losing its spike and claws, which regenerate within a day. The card does not require a retreat cost and has no listed regulations or additional rules. It is numbered 29 in the series and corresponds to the Pokémon's dex entry number 28. The design emphasizes its Fighting-type attributes without incorporating any extra abilities or features.

If it digs at an incredible pace, it may snap off its spike and claws. They grow back in a day.
