What this card does

Thunder Shock deals 20 damage and may paralyze the active Pokémon.

Fly deals 120 damage but requires a coin flip to work.

If Fly lands heads, it prevents all damage and effects from attacks during the opponent's next turn.

Fly

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage from and effects of attacks done to this Pokémon. (120 damage)

The Fly attack is unique because it offers protection rather than just damage. If you flip heads, the opponent cannot hurt or affect this Pikachu on their next turn, giving your team a safe round to set up.
