    With the second attack, were there any cards that put damage on your pokemon other than Rainbow Energy, like Unown P?

    The second (and last) appearance of “Pulverize.” But in 2021, we got “G-Max Pulverization” on Duraludon 𝙑𝙈𝘼𝙓.

    Sort of funny how this card is designed to be paired with Magma Hideout. Hideout will put damage counters on your own Magikarp and your opponent’s Pokemon as they enter the bench. Dragon Spark will turn those single damage counters into 2 damage counters across your opponent’s board. From there you can either attack with Full Retaliation if you have enough Karps, or you can Pulverize to take advantage of that spread damage you’ve caused.

      I know the Gyarados from Ancient Origins had a similar strategy that saw play competitively, though I’m not sure if this one did as well.
