Attacks
You may discard a combination of up to 2 Pokémon Tool cards and Rocket's Secret Machine cards from your hand, and then do 20 damage plus 30 more damage for each card you discarded.

Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks built around using Tool cards as resources rather than keeping them on Pokemon. It works well in Team Rocket themed decks that can generate those specific discard materials.

Slowking is known for its wisdom and is said to be able to predict the future with its sixth sense.
Check if your child has enough Tool cards in their hand to make the attack worthwhile, as discarding them removes them from play.
