What this card does

Alakazam E4 starts as a basic Psychic type with 100 HP.

You can move one damage counter from one of your Pokemon to another during your turn.

It has an attack called Mind Shock that deals 50 damage without being affected by Weakness or Resistance.

Signature ability

Damage Switch

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your Pokémon SP to another of your Pokémon SP. This power can't be used if Alakazam E4 is affected by a Special Condition.

The Damage Switch ability lets you take a hit off a fragile Pokemon and put it on a tougher ally. This helps keep your key attackers alive longer in the game.
