Trivia
The English version of this card's illustration had the color of Jynx's face changed from black to purple due to the blackface controversy.
Origin
DoubleSlap and Meditate are both moves in the Pokémon games. Jynx could learn DoubleSlap in Generation I, though it was incapable of learning Meditate until Generation II, where it was available as one of Smoochum's egg moves. This card's Pokédex entry was originally created instead of being from one of the video games.
