What this card does

Uses Frenzied Gouging to Knock Out the opponent's Active Pokémon immediately.

If this attack knocks out the target, Roaring Moon ex takes 200 damage itself.

Uses Calamity Storm for 100 or more damage and can add 120 extra damage by discarding a Stadium card.

Signature attack

Calamity Storm

You may discard a Stadium in play. If you do, this attack does 120 more damage. (100+ damage)

The key feature is Frenzied Gouging which instantly removes the opponent's Active Pokémon from play. This is very strong because it forces the opponent to switch out, but you must manage Roaring Moon ex's health carefully since it hurts itself after using this move.

Pro tip

Use Frenzied Gouging only when you are sure the opponent cannot easily return with a strong Pokémon, as your Roaring Moon ex will be very weak afterward.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that knocking out an opponent's Pokémon is great, but they must watch Roaring Moon ex's HP because it takes heavy damage from its own attack.
