What this card does

Talonflame V has 190 hit points and requires three energy to attack.

Fast Flight lets you discard your current hand to draw six new cards, but only on your very first turn if you go first.

Bright Wing deals 160 damage by discarding one energy from Talonflame.

Signature attack

Bright Wing

Discard an Energy from this Pokémon. (160 damage)

The Fast Flight ability is a high risk and high reward move. It forces you to throw away the cards in your hand to get six fresh ones, which can help you find key items or attackers much faster.

Note for the parent

Ask your child if they usually get to go first, as this attack only works in that specific situation.
