What this card does

The card has 60 hit points, which is quite low for the game.

It can use the Hang Down attack to deal 30 damage to an opponent's Pokemon.

The attack costs two colourless energy cards to activate.

Signature attack

Hang Down

No game text. (30 damage)

Burmy relies on its single Hang Down attack to do damage. It lacks any special abilities or extra effects, making it a straightforward piece of the puzzle rather than a powerful engine.
