It can use Explosive Jet to deal 50 damage multiplied by the number of fire energy cards you choose to discard from it
Explosive Jet
Discard as many Fire Energy attached to your Pokémon as you like. This attack does 50 damage times the number of Energy cards you discarded. (50× damage)
The key feature is Explosive Jet which lets you sacrifice your attached energy to deal huge damage. This matters because it allows you to defeat strong opponents quickly but leaves Camerupt EX vulnerable in the next turn.
