What this card does

Aurorus EX has 180 hit points and uses the Frozen Charm ability to stop your Pokémon from being paralyzed if they have Water Energy attached.

It attacks with Crystal Breath for 160 damage but must rest and cannot attack on your next turn.

Signature ability

Frozen Charm

Each of your Pokémon that has any Water Energy attached to it can't be Paralyzed. (If any of those Pokémon are Paralyzed, remove that Special Condition.)

The Frozen Charm ability acts as a shield for your other cards. It removes paralysis immediately and stops it from happening again as long as the card has Water Energy attached.
