What this card does

Golurk V has 220 hit points and requires three energy cards to attack.

Mega Punch deals 80 damage with no extra effect.

Rewind Beam deals 180 damage but only works if the opponent's active Pokemon is evolved.

Signature attack

Rewind Beam

If your opponent's Active Pokémon is an evolved Pokémon, devolve it by putting the highest Stage Evolution card on it into your opponent's hand. (180 damage)

The key feature is Rewind Beam which forces the opponent to undo their evolution. This matters because it removes the benefits of stronger forms and leaves the opponent with weaker cards.

From the Pokédex

Golurk is said to be an ancient robot brought to life by a virus.

Note for the parent

Remind your child to check if the opposing Pokemon is evolved before using Rewind Beam, as it will do nothing otherwise.
