Early print runs of the translated version of the card had the HP read "HP 70" instead of "70 HP".
Origin
Stiffen is similar to Harden, a move in the Pokémon games that Metapod can learn. Stun Spore is a move in the games, though Metapod can not learn it. 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.
