Team Rocket's Persian ex
A powerful Stage 1 Pokemon that can copy its opponent's moves or deal heavy damage.
What this card does
It uses Haughty Order to look at the top ten cards of your child's opponent's deck and copy an attack from one of them.
It uses Cruel Slash to deal 140 damage and confuse the opposing Pokemon.

The key ability is copying attacks. This lets your child use a move their opponent was planning to use next turn. It creates surprise because the opponent cannot predict which attack will be copied.
Attacks
Reveal the top 10 cards of your opponent's deck. You may choose an attack from a Pokémon you find there and use it as this attack. Shuffle the revealed cards into your opponent's deck.
Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused.
