What it does

Spiky Energy

As long as this card is attached to a Pokémon, it provides Colorless Energy. If the Pokémon this card is attached to is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 2 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.

This card adds a nasty surprise when your child's Pokémon is hit. It can quickly turn the tide in an opponent's favor by dealing additional damage back to their attacking Pokémon.

Which deck it belongs in

  • Flexible energy provision
Watch out for

Note for the parent
