N's Darmanitan
A fire type that deals massive damage by counting the opponent's trash.
What this card does
N's Darmanitan uses Back Draft to deal 30 damage for every Basic Energy card in your opponent's discard pile.
It can also use Flamebody Cannon to deal 90 damage to one of your opponent's Benched Pokemon after discarding all its own energy.
Flamebody Cannon
Discard all Energy from this Pokémon, and this attack also does 90 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (90 damage)
The key feature is Back Draft. It turns the opponent's discarded energy into direct damage. This makes it very strong against decks that discard a lot of energy.
