What this card does

Weavile GX has 200 HP and costs two Darkness Energy and one Colorless Energy to attack for 130 damage.

Its GX ability lets you move basic Darkness Energy between your Pokémon as often as you like before attacking.

Signature ability

Shadow Connection

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a basic Darkness Energy from 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon.

The Shadow Connection ability allows you to shift energy around freely. This means you can power up multiple attackers in one turn without waiting for new cards.
