Does 10 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (60 damage)

This card offers a way to disrupt the opponent by forcing them to skip turns due to sleep. However you must weigh this benefit against the risk of damaging your own support Pokémon with its second attack.

  • Solid damage output
  • Basic Pokémon status
Watch out for
  • Hurts own bench
  • Grass weakness
  • High energy cost for second attack

Use Sleep Pulse when you need to stall the opponent rather than Earthquake unless you can heal your bench quickly.

From the Pokédex

Whiscash is known for causing earthquakes before they happen.
