Its Max Thunder Rumble attack deals 100 damage to the active Pokemon and another 100 to a damaged Pokemon on your opponent's bench.

This attack also does 100 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (100 damage)

This attack is designed to clear out weaker opponents quickly. It ignores the usual protection rules for bench Pokemon so you can deal direct damage.
