What this card does

Sonic Double hits two of your opponent's Pokemon for 40 damage each without applying their defensive bonuses.

Max Wings deals a large 240 damage hit but stops this attack from being used again until after your next turn.

Signature attack

Max Wings

During your next turn, this Pokémon can't use Max Wings. (240 damage)

The Sonic Double attack is unique because it ignores the Weakness and Resistance of Pokemon sitting on the bench. This allows you to chip away at multiple opponents quickly without needing special energy types.
