With Sand Attack, Hippopotas can frustrate opponents who rely on consistent attacks. Its Fighting-type makes it tough against Grass-type Pokémon, and its common rarity means you can easily add more to your deck for support.
Attacks
During your opponent's next turn, if the Defending Pokémon tries to use an attack, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack doesn't happen.
