What this card does

Lycanroc-GX has 200 HP and evolves from Rockruff.

It can switch one of your opponent's Benched Pokemon with their Active Pokemon using its Bloodthirsty Eyes ability.

It deals 110 damage with Claw Slash or 50 damage for each Benched Pokemon with Dangerous Rogue-GX.

Signature ability

Bloodthirsty Eyes

When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon.

The Dangerous Rogue-GX attack scales with the number of Pokemon your opponent has on the bench. This means it becomes much stronger as the game goes on and more cards are played.
