It spits a mud that provides resistance to both wind and rain, so the walls of old houses were often coated with it.

Starting with this card, attacks with Enhanced in their name that have additional effects if the Pokémon has a Tool attached to it will become a thing, at least for the English edition of the TCG. It actually began with Kingler δ back in EX Crystal Guardians – the Prop-Up Pinchers attack having a similar effect is no coincidence, because its original name, きょうかバサミ, translates as “Enhanced Scissors”. Manectric from the same set had きょうかでんりゅう, “Enhanced Electric Current”, which got turned into Strong Current, somehow?
A search for きょうか on ポケモンWiki shows Enhanced attacks with the Tool effect were a recurring thing in the TCG in Gen 4, 5, and 6 of the TCG, but were being changed to something else or translated to “Reinforced“. With Chilling Reign Golurk, きょうかパンチ is Reinforced Punch again, so it looks like they can’t make their minds up.
