What it does
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play.
Whenever a player attacks with a Pokémon with Lt. Surge in its name, he or she may flip a coin.

If tails, the attacking Pokémon does 10 damage to itself in addition to whatever its attack usually does.

Where it came from
The Vermilion City Gym card was released as part of the Gym Heroes expansion in the year 2000, which served as the first set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game to focus on the specialized Gym Leaders found in the Kanto region. Designed to reflect the electrical theme of Lt. Surge's domain, the card was intended to provide players with a strategic way to search their deck for Lightning-type Pokémon, echoing the competitive nature of the game’s core Gym Leader encounters.
The artwork for the Gym Heroes set was primarily created by long-time illustrators of the franchise, such as Ken Sugimori and Atsuko Nishida. Their visual direction aimed to immerse players in the specific aesthetics of each Gym, utilizing a signature style that blended functional game mechanics with the distinct character personalities established in the early Pokémon video games. Upon release, the set was well-received by fans for successfully expanding the tactical depth of the game beyond basic evolutionary lines.
