How to get Smoochum
Choose the Ho-Oh booster within Wisdom of Sea and Sky; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match A4 and collector number 75 when checking the card. The denominator 161 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.

How this Smoochum printing works
Shivery Wave scales with Energy on the opposing Active Pokémon: 20 damage for each attached Energy. A heavily powered target offers a different opportunity from an empty opening Basic. Its 30 HP makes leaving it exposed costly, so evaluate it as a narrow response rather than an unconditional main attacker.
Basic Psychic Pokémon with a 1-Energy attack that scales with the opponent's attached Energy; low HP, so it is a tech/collector card rather than a meta attacker.
Deck choices and printing differences
Use the Psychic deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.
The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.
