What this card does

It costs one Psychic and one Colorless Energy to use the attack.

You discard all Energy attached to Wobbuffet BREAK to activate the effect.

If it takes damage on your opponent's next turn, you place damage counters on them equal to the damage it took.

Signature attack

Right Back at You

Discard all Energy attached to this Pokémon. During your opponent's next turn, if this Pokémon is damaged by an attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon equal to the damage done to this Pokémon.

This card trades its own energy supply for a powerful counter-attack. It forces the opponent to pay a heavy price if they choose to hit Wobbuffet during their turn.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that can afford to lose energy quickly or have ways to recover it later. It works well in strategies focused on punishing aggressive attackers.

From the Pokédex

Wobbuffet is known for its loyalty and will endure any pain to protect its trainer.

Note for the parent

Explain to your child that using this attack leaves the Pokemon very vulnerable because it has no energy left to use other moves.
