What this card does

Elbow Strike deals 30 damage.

Rising Chop deals 90 damage but only works if the opponent's Active Pokémon is not a Pokémon-ex.

Signature attack

Rising Chop

If your opponent's Active Pokémon isn't a Pokémon ex, this attack does nothing. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. (90 damage)

Rising Chop can be very powerful, but it requires the opponent's Active Pokémon to not have the ex marker. Elbow Strike provides a safer option for consistent damage.
