What this card does

It deals 180 damage using two Lightning energy and one Colourless energy.

If you have more Prize cards left than your opponent, it paralyzes their Active Pokemon.

Signature attack

Max Shock

If you have more Prize cards remaining than your opponent, their Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. (180 damage)

The Max Shock attack is very strong because it combines high damage with a status effect. The paralysis condition stops the opponent's Pokemon from attacking or retreating until their next turn, which can be decisive if you are ahead in the game.
