With an unmodified bench, 6 in any combination of this card and regular tauros could allow you to punch for up to 240 damage. However, if you had a way to extend your bench infinitely, you could hit for 320. Then, you remember Tauros GX, allowing you to hit for 480. After that, you’re reminded of Blaine’s Tauros, allowing you to hit for 640. And who can forget TCG Pocket’s Tauros ex? Now you’re hitting for 800. Now, the lack of any Tauros V, Tauros EX, Dark Tauros, Light Tauros, Tauros Gold Star, Radiant Tauros, Tauros with Grey Felt Hat, or Mega Tauros means that TPCi unfortunately has yet to comprehend the beauty of what could be within the Pokemon TCG. However, I suppose I am pleased with what we have available to us right now. I eagerly await as more Tauros reveal themselves to us through the Pokemon TCG.

You’re forgetting about Blaine’s Tauros, and in Japan, Chuck’s Tauros. And yes, I’ve contemplated making a Paldean Tauros/Sky Field deck in the Eternal Format (https://www.justinbasil.com/league/formats#eternal , https://www.justinbasil.com/meta/eternal ), but it might be worth sacrificing a bench slot or two to some form of on-board consistency Ability so you don’t just lose to Iono plus a Stadium removal. (It would probably be something of a meme deck anyways, and easy for some top decks to exploit, but it would be a fun experiment.)
Wait a minute, I forgot, you have to get damage counters on all the Pokémon. : / I haven’t thought of a better way to do it than with Stadium cards that damage Pokémon when you bench them or attach energy to them, or by using the attack of some Pokémon like Steelix PAR, Emolga TWM or Centiskorch SSP. Emolga TWM would be best since you could attack with it on your first turn going second, but your damage output drops as your Tauros get knocked out or if you’re forced to discard some by Sky Field getting removed.
