With 3 Mamoswines on your bench, this attack does 180 damage! That’s really cool! But when does that happen? :P
I don’t like “flip a coin until you get tails” attacks, because you have 50% chance that it does nothing, 25% that it will do 30 damage, 12.5% for 60 damage, 6,25 for 90 damage etc.
If it was a throw 2 coins attack, it would be better. 25% for 0, 50% for 30 and 25% for 60. After the first coin flip you still have a chance.
It’s nice that you can try again for 20 hp for if you would have done no damage at all or too few.

But wait! There’s more! With Garchomp Lv. X and scoop up, you could theoretically have three mamoswine on the bench and two Piloswine on the bench for a stellar 220 damage
Not like you could ever get that to happen against any opponent ever.
EverPhoenix
And now with mew ex, you can comfortably sit with 4 benched mamoswine. And a piloswine, if hitting for 220 isn’t enough.
feyblade
and then of course we could throw Skyfield into the mix. 280!
EverPhoenix
Move over Mega Charizard and Rayquaza, PIGS IN DA HAUS

In effort to find a basic with 5 retreat so that I could make a joke about 2 Dodrios, Sky Arrow Bridge and Darkrai EX, I learned that this is the only Pokemon in the game with 5 retreat that is not an ex.
Mantidactyle
I played a deck with it for fun
It had some decent results against LuxChomp (but nothing else :P )
EverPhoenix
Just gonna say that this is now even more amazing with that fancy new piloswine from xy8

Ramming Strike would be good with Protection Cube. *Plays a match with this combo, flips coins until match timer runs out*
jelze
Awesome idea, but unfortunately Protection Cube specifically mentions damage, so placing of counters will get through
EverPhoenix
Unown G would probably work though. Doesn’t specify from opponent’s Pokemon
HEZ
I never noticed that about Unown G, it’s SUCH a good card!
All the tool Unown are really good, being able to get a tool onto Garbodor in Item lock is particularly strong!
ssANGELOFDEATHss
Ah, ok. The Unown G idea is very good, though.
