What this card does

It starts with 230 HP to stay in play longer than most Basic Pokemon.

It can deal extra damage if it was hurt by the opponent last turn.

It has an attack that might confuse the opposing Pokemon and add significant damage.

Signature attack

Dynamic Punch

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 90 more damage, and your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. (90+ damage)

The first attack allows Conkeldurr V to deal bonus damage equal to whatever damage it took in the previous turn. This means a beaten-up Conkeldurr becomes much more dangerous as the game goes on.
