Trivia

Origin

Assist is a move introduced in the Generation III Pokémon games that Lapras cannot learn; however, the Japanese names are not the same, making this attack and the move in the games unrelated. Hypnoblast is an attack that first appeared on Rocket's Mewtwo from Gym Challenge. This card's e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Crystal.
