What this card does

When Turtonator is in the Active Spot and gets damaged, it can take an Energy from your opponent's attacking Pokémon.

With Heat Breath, you have a chance to deal even more damage.

Signature ability

Shell Spikes

If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), discard an Energy from the Attacking Pokémon.

Turtonator's Shell Spikes ability provides extra protection by taking hits for itself, making it harder for opponents to knock it out. The Heat Breath attack can be quite powerful if the coin flip goes your way.
