What this card does

The Mirror Counter ability reflects all damage taken from GX or EX Pokemon back to the attacker.

Sonic Wing deals 80 damage and ignores resistance bonuses.

Intercept GX deals 60 damage multiplied by the energy attached to the opponent's active Pokemon.

Signature ability

Mirror Counter

If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an attack from your opponent’s Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon equal to the damage done to this Pokémon.

Sigilyph GX turns its weakness into a strength by reflecting damage from strong opponents. This means hitting it with a powerful attack can hurt the attacker just as much as Sigilyph.
