What this card does

Hyper Beam deals 60 damage and forces your opponent to discard an Energy card from their active Pokemon.

Buster Tail deals 160 damage but requires three energy cards to use.

Signature attack

Buster Tail

No game text. (160 damage)

The Hyper Beam attack is key because it removes resources from the opponent while dealing damage. This weakens their ability to play strong attacks in future turns.
