What this card does

You can move an Energy card from one of your SP Pokemon to another once per turn.

After moving the energy you must place two damage counters on Bronzong G.

It attacks for 40 damage and deals extra damage to opponent's damaged bench Pokemon.

Signature ability

Galactic Switch

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move an Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon SP to another of your Pokémon. Then, put 2 damage counters on Bronzong G. This power can't be used if Bronzong G is affected by a Special Condition.

Galactic Switch lets you shift resources between your Metal Pokemon but weakens Bronzong G significantly. This trade off is dangerous because the card has only 90 HP and becomes unusable if it suffers any special conditions like paralysis.

Attacks

Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
