A risky item that can strip energy if you get lucky.

ItemBeginner to play

What this card does

Flip two coins.

If both land on heads, remove a random Energy from the opponent's Active Pokemon.

What it does

Hitting Hammer

Flip 2 coins. If both of them are heads, discard a random Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon.

This card relies on chance to disrupt your opponent. You must flip two coins and hope for two heads to successfully discard one of their energy cards.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that need occasional disruption but can afford to miss turns. It is less reliable than consistent removal effects.

Strengths
  • Potential disruption
  • Low cost
  • Unpredictable
Watch out for
  • High variance
  • No effect on tails
  • Random target
Pro tip

Use this when the opponent has high value energy attached, as even one lost card can hurt them.

Good to know

Trainer cards like this represent special items that trainers use to gain an advantage during battles.

Note for the parent

Explain to your child that this card might do nothing if the coins do not match, so it is a gamble rather than a guarantee.
