Rayquaza GX
Rotated OutA powerful dragon that fuels itself by discarding cards from your deck.
What this card does
It has an ability called Stormy Winds that lets you attach energy to it when played from the hand.
It can deal massive damage with Dragon Break based on how many Grass and Lightning energies it has.
It can discard its own hand to draw ten new cards with Tempest GX.
Stormy Winds
When you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench during your turn, you may discard the top 3 cards of your deck. If you do, attach a basic Energy card from your discard pile to this Pokémon.
The key feature is Stormy Winds. When you play Rayquaza GX from your hand to the bench, you discard three cards from your deck and attach a basic energy card from the discard pile to it. This helps build its power quickly without needing to search for energy normally.
Attacks
This attack does 30 damage times the amount of basic Grass and basic Lightning Energy attached to your Pokémon.
Discard your hand and draw 10 cards. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Explain to your child that using Tempest GX means they lose their current hand, so it is a big risk and reward move.
