What this card does

The card has 280 HP and costs five energy to attack.

Gigafall GX deals 250 damage but requires five extra energy cards attached.

If Gigafall hits, you discard the top fifteen cards from your opponent's deck.

Signature attack

Gigafall GX

If this Pokémon has at least 5 extra Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack’s cost), discard the top 15 cards of your opponent’s deck. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) (250 damage)

The key feature is Gigafall GX which removes many cards from your opponent's deck. This makes their attacks fail because they run out of energy cards quickly.
