If the coin flip is tails it still deals 90 damage but also takes 30 damage itself.

When this Pokemon is knocked out your opponent takes two Prize cards.

Signature attack

Wild Tackle

Flip a coin. If tails, this Pokémon also does 30 damage to itself. (90 damage)

The Wild Tackle attack relies on a coin flip to decide if Tauros hurts itself. This makes it unpredictable because you might win the battle or lose your own Pokemon in the same turn.
