Slaking
A giant slacker that hits hard but struggles to stay awake.
What this card does
Slaking is a Stage 2 Pokemon with 160 HP and Colorless energy needs.
It has an ability called Snoozing Habit that puts it to sleep every time you add energy.
It uses the attack Knuckle Sandwich to deal 150 damage but removes one of its own energy cards.
Snoozing Habit
As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, whenever you attach an Energy from your Energy Zone to it, it is now Asleep.
The key feature is Snoozing Habit which forces Slaking to sleep immediately after you attach any energy. This means your opponent can skip its turn easily while it rests.
Attacks
Discard a random Energy from this Pokémon.
