Rotated OutA Basic Metal Pokemon that recycles energy from the bin and disrupts opponents.
What this card does
Critical Collection lets you search your discard pile for Metal Energy cards equal to the opponent's Prize count and attach them to itself.
Hyper Beam deals 50 damage but requires a coin flip to discard an Energy card from the opposing Pokemon.
Hyper Beam
Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. (50 damage)
The Critical Collection attack is unique because it scales with the game state. As your opponent takes more Prize cards, you can retrieve more energy from your discard pile to power up your attacks.
Attacks
