It uses Eerie Beam to place damage on all opposing Pokemon once per turn.

It deals extra damage with G-Max Wave based on the energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokemon.

The Eerie Beam ability allows you to weaken every Pokemon your child's opponent has in play. This creates a steady stream of pressure that forces the other player to deal with multiple threats at once.
