The Power Saver ability stops this Groudon from attacking unless there are at least four Team Magma cards on the field. This means you must build a deck with multiple Team Magma members to bring out its fighting potential.

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
If the Defending Pokémon already has at least 2 damage counters on it, this attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage.
