What this card does

Discards one of the opponent's Energy cards if it has a Darkness type and flips a coin for a chance to activate this effect.

Weak against Fighting types, making it less effective in those matchups.

Signature attack

Acid Spray

Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon. (10 damage)

Trubbish can be useful for setting up your opponent's Active Pokémon with fewer Energy, but watch out as it's weak to Fighting moves.
