What this card does

The card has 240 HP and evolves from Steelix-EX.

It uses the Canyon Axe attack to deal 160 damage to the main target.

That same attack deals 10 damage to every other Pokémon on your opponent's bench.

Signature attack

Canyon Axe

This attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (160 damage)

The key feature is that the attack hits all benched Pokémon for 10 damage. This matters because it weakens multiple opponents at once without needing extra energy or complex conditions.
