Koraidon ex
Swings for 280, but it bruises itself doing it.
What this card does
Its Kaiser Tackle attack deals 280 damage and then puts 60 damage on Koraidon itself.
Its Retribution Strike does 20 plus 10 more for every damage counter already on it, rewarding you for it being hurt.
Kaiser Tackle
This Pokémon also does 60 damage to itself. (280 damage)
Kaiser Tackle is a big 280 damage swing that can knock out most threats. The cost is that Koraidon takes 60 damage to itself each time. That self damage builds up fast, so you have to weigh the hit you land against the wear on your own attacker.
