What this card does

The Playhouse Heal ability lets you flip a coin before attacking.

Heads means you heal 60 damage from one of your Pokemon.

Using this ability ends your turn immediately.

Signature ability

Playhouse Heal

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, heal 60 damage from 1 of your Pokémon. If you use this Ability, your turn ends.

This card acts as a safety net for your team. It allows you to recover a significant amount of health in exchange for losing your chance to attack that round.

Remind your child that using this ability means they cannot attack that turn, so it is a strategic choice rather than a free move.
