What this card does

It has 30 hit points which is quite low for a Basic Pokemon.

It uses one Water Energy to search your deck for another Wishiwashi or Wishiwashi ex and place it on your Bench.

Signature attack

Call for Family

Put 1 random Wishiwashi or Wishiwashi ex from your deck onto your Bench.

This attack lets you quickly add more copies of the same Pokemon to your side of the table. It matters because having multiple copies can help you survive longer or set up powerful moves later.
