What this card does

Groudon Star uses Critical Collection to search its discard pile for Fighting Energy cards based on how many prizes the opponent has taken.

It can also use Ground Slash to deal 80 damage by discarding a Fighting Energy card.

Signature attack

Ground Slash

The key ability is Critical Collection. It allows the player to retrieve lost energy cards from the bin and attach them back to Groudon Star. This helps keep the Pokemon powered up for future turns without needing more cards from their hand.
