X-Boot

Once during your turn, you may search your deck for a Basic {P} Energy card, a Basic {M} Energy card, or 1 of each and attach them to your {P} Pokémon and {M} Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck.

The X-Boot ability lets you dig through your deck to find specific Metal or Psychic Energy cards. This helps you play faster because you do not have to rely on drawing the right energy naturally.
