What this card does

The Needle Line ability places three damage counters on any opponent's Pokemon that damages your Chesnaught V.

The Touchdown attack deals 130 damage and heals your Chesnaught V for 30 points.

Signature ability

Needle Line

If your Active Chesnaught V is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if it is Knocked Out), put 3 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.

This card acts as a deterrent by making it costly for opponents to attack your active Pokemon. Every time they hit Chesnaught V they take significant damage in return which can quickly turn the tide of the match.
