How it plays
This card has 50 HP and is a Basic Water-type Pokémon. Its Ability, Festival Tune, allows it to use its attack twice in a row if 'Festival Grounds' is in play, with the second use occurring after the opponent's next Active Pokémon is sent out if the first knocked one out. Its attack, Whirlpool, costs two Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage, with a coin flip that, if heads, allows the player to discard one Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon. It is weak to Lightning-type attacks (x2) and has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy.
