Ability ⇢ Plasma Bane
If your opponent has any cards in their discard pile that have “Colress” in the name, this Pokémon can use the Trifrost attack for {C}.
{W}{W}{M}{M}{C} → Trifrost
Discard all Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 110 damage to 3 of your opponent’s Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Dwelling within it is a power even greater than that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but the extreme cold keeps that power bound.

i need to know the thought process behind this card’s design so badly, like. who thought this was necessary to come up with in the first place and who thought it was a great idea to actually put to print
Sam May
I think its a really cool/fun card personally….

I’m a little confused on the wording here – does Trifrost do 110 damage “spread out” over 3 Pokémon (eg: 50 to first, 30 to second, 30 to third) or 110 damage to first, 110 to second, 110 to third Pokémon of your choosing?
JLB
110 each. 110 to the first, 110 to the 2nd and 110 to the 3rd
Gaardus
110 to Pokemon A, 110 to Pokemon B, and 110 to Pokemon C. 330 total.

To give precedence on this: There are a few cards that do 10 damage to 2 of your opponent’s Pokémon: https://pkmncards.com/?s=%2Btext%3A%22This+attack+does+10+damage+to+2%22
In those cases it’s apparent that you’re not able to split up 10 damage, so you’re doing 10 damage to each of the 2 Pokémon.
Implicit in the wording for these types of attacks is: “This attack does X damage to each of Y of your opponent’s Pokémon.” (X being the damage and Y being the number of Pokémon.)
And then you have far more instances of: “This attack does X damage to each of [all of] your opponent’s Pokémon.”

Is this any better in Regidrago VSTAR decks?

Yes, it’s a near universal inclusion. Discarding 3 energy is still a steep requirement, but not so steep that it isn’t worth it to completely prevent your opponent from setting up.
