Discard 2 of the other cards in your hand in order to play this card. If this turn’s attack does damage to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), and if the attacking Pokémon has Misty in its name, the attack does 20 more damage to the Defending Pokémon.

The Pokémon Card Official Book 2000 has this to say about Misty (machine translated);
◆ Misty is a Trainer card that works only on Misty’s Pokémon, and has the effect of 2 “PlusPower” cards. If the timing of use is good, it is a very powerful card. However, it cannot be used unless you discard 2 cards from your hand. It is necessary to secure, to a certain extent, cards in your hand that are acceptable to discard so that it can be used when the critical moment comes. Make sure it does not happen that, even though you have Misty, there are no cards to discard and it cannot be used.
◆ What you want to be careful about is that in the case where you do coin flips with “Misty’s Goldeen (Gym Expansion 1)’s” “Fury Attack” and both 2 are tails, or in the case of attacks without damage such as “Supersonic,” the plus 20 is not applied. Also, please remember that even if you use 2 “Misty,” it does not become more than plus 20. Because “Misty” is different from “PlusPower,” it also does not return to the hand through the attack of “Star Boomerang” of “Misty’s Staryu (Gym Expansion 1).” This is because “Misty” is not a card used by attaching to a Pokémon, but a card that has an effect that works on the field. But when combined with “Misty’s Staryu (Gym Expansion 1),” it is intense.

This is fun to see. Thank you for translating.

So the effect of this card does NOT stack?? That should have been clarified in the text. But I believe you can still combo it with PlusPower!

Correct, Misty cannot stack with another Misty. I think this is well known.
There may not have been any clarification offered because Misty reads more like an effect on your turn than an effect on the attack. I think it’s a mistake I could’ve made myself, so I see where you’re coming from.
