What this card does

Places damage on the opponent's active Pokemon if it gets hit while in play.

Draws two cards when it uses its attack to deal damage.

Signature ability

Solidarity

If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 3 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon for each of your Tandemaus, Maushold, and Maushold ex in play.

The Solidarity ability protects your other Pokemon by transferring damage back to the attacker. This works every time Maushold ex takes damage, making it a strong deterrent for opponents who want to knock it out.
