What this card does

It has 150 HP and evolves from Loudred.

It uses Booming Roar to deal 90 damage.

The attack stops the opponent from playing Item cards during their next turn.

Signature attack

Booming Roar

During your opponent's next turn, they can't play any Item cards from their hand. (90 damage)

The key feature of this card is its ability to lock out Item cards for a full turn. This matters because many decks rely on Items like Potion or X Attack to stay in the game, and stopping them can be very disruptive.

Exploud can produce a roar so loud it causes earthquakes and shatters windows.
