What this card does

The Grindcore attack costs two Colorless energy and deals 30 damage while flipping a coin repeatedly until it lands on tails. For every heads result, you discard a random Energy card from the opponent's active Pokémon.

The Tyrannical Hole attack requires three Darkness energy and one Colorless energy to deal 120 damage with no additional effects.

Signature attack

Tyrannical Hole

No game text. (120 damage)

The key feature is Grindcore which uses a coin flip to potentially remove your opponent's energy cards. This makes it dangerous because you might accidentally hurt yourself if the flips go wrong.

Note for the parent

Watch out for the coin flipping as it adds an element of chance that might frustrate a child who prefers control over their moves.
