Signature attack

Linear Attack

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

The key feature of this card is that its attack bypasses defensive modifiers for Benched Pokemon. This means you can chip away at a hidden opponent without their resistance reducing the hit.
