What this card does

It costs four Energy cards to use Calamity Blast.

The attack deals 150 damage to the active Pokémon.

You must discard three Energy from Hydreigon BREAK after using it.

Signature attack

Calamity Blast

Discard 3 Energy attached to this Pokémon. This attack does 50 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (150 damage)

This card sacrifices its own resources to deal widespread damage. The key trade off is that you lose the energy needed to keep playing powerful moves next turn.

Hydreigon is known for being extremely loyal to its trainer once it has earned their trust.

Note for the parent

Watch closely when your child discards three Energy, as this leaves the Pokémon vulnerable to being knocked out by smaller attacks.
