What this card does

Draw cards until your hand matches the number of Fusion Strike Pokemon on the field.

Deal 210 damage with Techno Blast, but skip attacking next turn.

Signature ability

Fusion Strike System

Once during your turn, you may draw cards until you have as many cards in your hand as you have Fusion Strike Pokémon in play.

The Fusion Strike System ability lets you grab more cards if you have several Metal Pokemon in play. This keeps your resources full so you can keep using strong attacks later in the game.
