What this card does

Gastrodon West Sea has 110 HP and evolves from Shellos West Sea.

It can use Muddy Bomb to deal 30 damage to one Pokemon and 10 damage to all other opposing Pokemon.

It can use Raging Sea to deal 60 plus extra damage for each damaged Pokemon on your bench.

Does 60 damage plus 10 more damage for each of your Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (60+ damage)
