What this card does

Reckless Charge deals 30 damage but causes Scorbunny to take 10 damage itself.

Signature attack

Reckless Charge

This Pokémon also does 10 damage to itself. (30 damage)

The Fiery Dribbling attack relies entirely on luck. If you get lucky with multiple heads in a row you can defeat an opponent quickly. However the Reckless Charge is dangerous because it hurts your own Pokemon while attacking.
