Steamroll costs one Water and one Colorless Energy, dealing 40 damage while also inflicting 20 damage to a Benched opponent Pokémon, bypassing usual Weakness and Resistance. Dynamic Punch requires two Colorless and one Water Energy, dealing 60 damage plus an additional 40 if a coin flip lands heads, and inducing the Confused status on the defending Pokémon. The card was released in the SoulSilver Collection set on October 9, 2009. It is classified as a Rare card and was illustrated by artist Naoyo Kimura. The design emphasizes its dual typing and combat versatility through its attack options. Its strategic value lies in its ability to target Benched Pokémon and apply status effects.
