What this card does

When your opponent attacks this Pokémon and it gets damaged, they take damage in return.

This card can still deal damage even if it's knocked out.

Signature ability

Automated Combat

If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 3 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.

Iron Jugulis uses its ability to turn the tables on attackers, making sure that any attack that hits it also hurts the attacker. This makes it a valuable defensive and offensive tool.
