Ethan's Pinsir
A sturdy Grass-type fighter that rewards you if your other Pokemon were defeated recently.
What this card does
It has 120 HP and costs one Grass energy for a simple 20 damage attack called Vise Grip.
It uses three Colorless energies for Rallying Horn, which deals 70 or more damage and adds 100 extra damage if any of your other Ethan Pokemon were knocked out last turn.
Rallying Horn
If any of your Ethan's Pokémon were Knocked Out by damage from an attack during your opponent's last turn, this attack does 100 more damage. (70+ damage)
Rallying Horn becomes very powerful when your opponent has just defeated one of your other Ethan Pokemon. This mechanic encourages you to keep multiple Ethan cards in play to set up big hits later.
Attacks
