Trivia

In Mysterious Treasures, an almost-identical Chansey card was released; however, due to the HP, weakness, resistance, Retreat Cost and self-infliction from Double-edge varying, it cannot be considered a reprint.

Origin

Double-Edge is a move in the Pokémon games that Chansey can learn. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
