Signature ability

Geotech System

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may attach a Psychic or Metal Energy card from your discard pile to your Active Pokémon.

The Algorithm GX attack lets you look at your entire deck and pick up to five specific cards. This is very useful because it helps you find the energy or tools you need quickly without waiting to draw them naturally.
