Trivia

This was the first card in the TCG to have 200 HP, and also the first card with a Retreat Cost of five. Neither of these figures have been surpassed as of Dragon Blast/Dragon Blade, though they have been matched. A value of 200 HP exists so far only on three cards, all of them being Wailord. A Retreat Cost of five exists so far only on four cards, the three others being Golem ex, Steelix ex and Mamoswine.
