Extra Noise

As long as Exploud ex is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon-ex between turns.

The Extra Noise ability allows you to place one damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon-ex between turns. This passive effect gradually wears down their strongest cards without using your turn.
