What this card does

It has 330 hit points and costs three energy to use its strongest attack.

The Eruption Shot attack discards a card from your deck but deals extra damage if that card is an Energy.

Signature attack

No game text. (240 damage)

The key feature is the Eruption Shot attack which lets you recycle discarded Energy cards back onto Coalossal VMAX. This makes it a powerful option for decks that want to keep their attacker fully powered up.
