It is classified as a Common rarity card with the number 29 in its set. The first attack, Double Scratch, requires one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage multiplied by the number of heads from flipping two coins.

The card’s design aligns with its role as a standard Pokémon in the game’s early expansion. Its balanced combination of straightforward mechanics and probabilistic outcomes reflects its thematic focus on chance and basic combat interactions.
