It uses Flamethrower to deal 200 damage but forces you to discard one Energy from itself.

Signature attack

Flamethrower

Discard an Energy from this Pokémon. (200 damage)

The Flamethrower attack deals a massive 200 damage which can defeat most opponents in one hit. However the cost is high because you must remove an Energy card from this Pokemon after attacking so it may struggle to use another attack next turn.
