What this card does

M Latios EX has 220 hit points and requires Dragon energy to play.

It uses the Sonic Ace attack to deal 120 damage to one opponent's Pokémon.

The attack forces you to discard two energy cards attached to it as a cost.

Signature attack

Sonic Ace

Discard 2 Energy attached to this Pokémon. This attack does 120 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

The key feature of this card is its ability to bypass defensive bonuses on the bench. By discarding two energy cards, it delivers a heavy blow that cannot be reduced by type advantages on reserve Pokémon.

From the Pokédex

Note for the parent
