What this card does

Bug's Cannon deals damage based on the number of Grass Energy attached to Genesect, up to 20 per energy.

Speed Attack can be used for additional strategies but doesn't deal any damage.

Signature attack

Speed Attack

No game text. (110 damage)

Genesect's Bug's Cannon is its main attack and can be very effective if you have plenty of Grass Energy. Speed Attack offers flexibility in play but isn't as impactful.
