What this card does

It has 230 hit points and evolves from Camerupt-EX.

It uses the Magma Eruption attack which costs two Fire energy and two colourless energy.

The attack deals 120 damage plus 40 extra for each Energy card discarded from either player's deck.

Signature attack

Magma Eruption

You may discard the top 3 cards of each player's deck. If you do, this attack does 40 more damage for each Energy card you discarded in this way. (120 damage)

The key feature is that this attack can discard cards from both players' decks. This means you might gain bonus damage by discarding your own energies, but you also risk removing useful cards from your opponent.
