The character
Audino is a Normal-type Pokémon known in its core series games for its skill at sensing the feelings and conditions of others, often serving as a stand-in for trainer healing stations. Mega Audino is its Mega Evolved form, a Fairy-type boost that heightens its empathic and supportive nature into a more formidable battle presence. In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Audino and its Mega form are generally portrayed as support-oriented Pokémon.
This card

How it plays
This Basic Pokémon has 270 HP and is a Colorless-type card with a weakness to Fighting-type attacks, taking double damage. Its first attack, Kaleidowaltz, costs a single Colorless Energy and has the player flip three coins, searching the deck for up to two Basic Energy cards per heads and attaching them to any of the player's Pokémon. Its second attack, Ear Force, costs three Colorless Energy and deals 20 damage plus 80 more for each Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon. As a Mega Evolution ex, it has no retreat cost beyond one Colorless Energy, and if knocked out it gives the opponent three Prize cards instead of the usual one.
