What this card does

Scizor-GX has 210 HP and requires Metal energy to play.

It uses Danger Perception to add 80 damage if its HP drops to 100 or less.

Steel Wing deals 80 damage and reduces incoming damage for the next turn.

Signature ability

Danger Perception

If this Pokémon's remaining HP is 100 or less, its attacks do 80 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

The Danger Perception ability makes this card increasingly dangerous as it takes hits. It rewards a defensive playstyle by turning low health into a significant damage boost.

Note for the parent

Remind your child they can only use one GX attack per entire game, so save Cross-Cut-GX for a decisive moment.
