What this card does

Garchomp C LV.X starts in your hand and moves to the Active spot on Garchomp C.

Healing Breath removes all damage counters from your SP Pokemon when it enters play.

Dragon Rush deals 80 damage by discarding two Energy cards attached to it.

Signature ability

Healing Breath

Once during your turn (before your attack), when you put Garchomp C LV.X from your hand onto your Active Garchomp C, you may remove all damage counters from each of your Pokémon SP.

The Healing Breath ability is a strong defensive tool because it clears damage from your entire bench instantly. This allows your other Pokemon to stay in the game longer without needing extra healing support.

Attacks

CCC
Dragon Rush

Discard 2 Energy attached to Garchomp C. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 80 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Garchomp C can't use Dragon Rush during your next turn.
