Sinistea
A fragile Psychic type that can block the next hit it takes.
What this card does
It has only 30 HP so it breaks easily.
Its Hide attack lets you flip a coin to stop damage and effects for one turn.
Hide
Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage from—and effects of—attacks done to this Pokémon.
The Hide ability is a defensive shield that lasts through your opponent's next turn. If the coin lands on heads, Sinistea takes no harm and ignores any negative effects from attacks aimed at it.

Sinistea is made of cursed rice and is said to bring bad luck to anyone who eats it.
Remind your child that Sinistea is very weak and will likely be knocked out quickly if the coin flip fails.
