What this card does

The Tough Hammer attack costs two Grass and two Colorless energy cards to use.

It deals 160 damage to the active Pokemon and an extra 30 damage to one of your opponent's Benched Pokemon.

The self-damage means Chesnaught BREAK loses 30 HP after using this move.

Signature attack

Tough Hammer

This Pokémon does 30 damage to itself. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (160 damage)

This attack is designed for big impact because it hits both the front line and the back row. The key trade off is that Chesnaught BREAK takes damage itself, so you must manage its health carefully.

Which deck it belongs in

Watch out for
  • Self-inflicted damage
  • High energy cost

Pro tip

Use Tough Hammer only when you can afford to lose 30 HP or when the opponent has no way to remove Chesnaught BREAK immediately.

From the Pokédex
