What this card does

Icy Aura places a damage counter on your active Pokemon and your opponent's active Pokemon between turns, unless they are Water types.

Avalanche deals 60 damage and can hit benched Pokemon if you flip heads.

Signature ability

Icy Aura

As long as Mamoswine GL is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each Active Pokémon (excluding Water Pokémon) (both yours and your opponent's) between turns.

The Icy Aura ability creates a shared risk by damaging the active Pokemon of both players each turn. This matters because it forces your child to manage their own health while trying to weaken the opponent.

Attacks

WWCC
Avalanche60

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Abilities

As long as Mamoswine GL is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each Active Pokémon (excluding Water Pokémon) (both yours and your opponent's) between turns.

Use Icy Aura when the opponent has a fragile active Pokemon but you have a sturdy Water type to survive the hit.

From the Pokédex
