Card facts
- First Absol card ever printed: Dragon (2003). Every later Absol card is a reprint or a new card.
- Printed once: the Attack Bad News exists on this card and no other.
- One of a kind: this exact Attack Prize Count (its damage and text) was printed on this card only; other cards share the name, not the move.
