Palkia ex
A powerful Water-type attacker with high damage potential but significant energy costs.
What this card does
Palkia ex has 150 Hit Points and requires Water Energy to use its attacks.
It can deal 30 damage with Slash or 150 damage with Dimensional Storm.
Dimensional Storm deals extra damage to the opponent's Benched Pokémon but discards three Water Energy from itself.
Dimensional Storm
Discard 3 {W} Energy from this Pokémon. This attack also does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (150 damage)
The key ability is Dimensional Storm, which allows your child to clear out weaker opponents on the bench for a heavy price. This makes it effective for controlling the board, though the card must be re-energised after use.
