{M}{M}{F}{F} → Crushing Earth : 80
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon (yours and your opponent’s). (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, Shining Steelix can’t attack during your next turn.
· Shining rule: You can’t have more than 1 Shining Steelix in your deck.

If an Onix lives 100 years or more, its skin hardens, eventually becoming even harder than a diamond.

Hard to imagine a worse attack ever being printed

“Time Rewind” Dialga from Call of Legends* gives it a run for its money!
* (Not to be confused with “Rewind Time” Dialga from Vivid Voltage. That one is halfway decent.)

Jiří noticed something interesting on this set’s Dark Feraligatr, where it seems like many attacks with “Crushing” in their name discard/can discard Energy. I noticed these attacks actually seem to be intended to be variant forms of the Hyper Beam attack, which has that same effect …so the question would be what about a card like this?
The Hyper Beam-derivative moves all have the phrase [はかい 𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐢 – “Destruction”] in the original name of the attack, but this card’s attack was originally named [アースクラッシュ 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡 – i.e. literally “Earth crush”, though it might be “Earth crash”]. So, no relation to the Destruction-turned-“Crushing” moves. I imagine this holds up as a decent example as to what’s going on any other time a “Crushing” attack shows up in the EN TCG that doesn’t have the Energy-discard effect.
