What this card does

It uses Collect to draw three cards for you.

It attacks with Blizzard Burn for 160 damage but skips its next turn.

Ice Beam GX deals 100 damage and paralyzes the opponent's Active Pokémon.

Signature attack

Blizzard Burn

This Pokémon can’t attack during your next turn. (160 damage)

The key feature is Ice Beam GX, which paralyzes the opponent so they cannot attack or retreat easily. This gives you significant control over the game flow while dealing damage.

Note for the parent
