What this card does

The Assembly-GX attack deals 50 base damage plus 50 more for each Prize card you have taken.

Signature ability

Ultra Wall

Your Ultra Beasts take 10 less damage from your opponent's attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

The Ultra Wall ability is a shield that reduces incoming damage by 10 for all your Ultra Beast Pokemon. This makes them much harder to knock out during the early and middle stages of the game.

Note for the parent

Remind your child they can only use one GX attack per game so they must choose carefully between Gigaton Stomp and Assembly-GX.
