Trivia

Origin

Strikes Back's Japanese name is that of Counterattack, a Skill later introduced in Pokémon Shuffle. Seismic Toss is a move in the Pokémon games that Machamp can learn. 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.
