What this card does

The Darkness Switch attack discards an energy card to move all damage counters from your Mewtwo to the opposing Pokemon.

Hypnoblast deals 40 damage and may put the opponent to sleep if you flip heads.

Psyburn deals a steady 70 damage with no extra effects.

Signature attack

Psyburn

No game text. (70 damage)

This card allows you to discard one of its own energy cards to transfer all accumulated damage to the defending Pokemon. This is powerful because it can suddenly defeat an opponent who has been attacking your Mewtwo for several turns.
