What this card does

Thunder Shock deals 10 damage and may paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon.

Fly deals 30 damage but requires three Colorless Energy cards to use.

Signature attack

Fly

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. If heads, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon during your opponent's next turn. (30 damage)

The Fly attack has a high risk and high reward. If you flip heads, your Pikachu avoids all damage and effects for one turn, making it very hard to defeat.
