What this card does

Use Sleep Inducer to switch the opponent's active Pokemon with one on their bench and put it to sleep.

Use Wake-Up Slap to deal 30 or more damage if the target has special conditions, then remove those conditions.

If the Defending Pokémon is affected by any Special Conditions, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage. Then, remove all Special Conditions from the Defending Pokémon. (30+ damage)

This card uses its first attack to force a weaker or less useful Pokemon into battle while putting it to sleep. Its second attack cleans up any remaining status effects and deals extra damage to Pokemon that are already affected by problems.

Froslass is known as the Snow Land Pokemon and is said to appear when cold winds blow from the sky.

Note for the parent

Explain that putting a Pokemon to sleep means it cannot attack for a turn, which is a key tactical advantage.
