Signature attack

Phoenix Turbo

Take a {R}, {W}, and {L} Energy from your Energy Zone and attach them to your Benched Basic Pokémon in any way you like. (80 damage)

The key feature is its ability to redistribute energy resources. This means you can power up multiple Benched Pokemon at once instead of just the one attacking.
