Release information

This card was released in May 2009 as one of two cards available in the Rising Rivals Three Pack Blisters. In Japan, this card and four other promotional cards were made available to anyone who bought two Galactic's Conquest booster packs during the expansion's initial release campaign at participating stores. These cards were the first available cards from the DPt-P promotional series.

Trivia

• On the English print of the card, the card's HP reads "80HP" instead of "HP80" as is typical of a Generation IV-era card.
• The Japanese official card database entry for this card erroneously uses the Hiragana ず in the Japanese name of Grass Knot rather than the Katakana す used in the video games, which is used on the actual card.

Origin

Power Whip and Grass Knot are both moves in the Pokémon games that Carnivine can learn.
