{W}{C}{C} → Hypno Wave : 30+
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage. If tails, this attack does 30 damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.

Other than the new card template and some tweaks to the text, this is a reprint of Wizards Black Star Promo 53 (which is itself a variant art print of Aquapolis Suicune), which came out about 3 years prior to this card’s release. There wasn’t a release of the card in Japan around this time that would help contextualize why it got re-released in English. Perhaps Nintendo thought not everyone got a chance to collect the last promo WOTC printed? One can’t imagine it would’ve been for meta purposes, Pure Body is horrible Poké-Body.

It’s also the fifth reprint of this card (fourth if you exclude the box topper)
