What this card does

The card has 190 hit points and evolves from Mawile-EX.

It uses the Twin Grapple attack which costs three Fairy Energy cards to activate.

This attack deals 130 damage and allows you to flip two coins.

Signature attack

Twin Grapple

Flip 2 coins. For each heads, discard an Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon. (130 damage)

The key feature of this card is its ability to disrupt the opponent's strategy by removing their Energy. This makes it harder for them to play powerful attacks in subsequent turns.
