A resistance and energy removal, not bad on an uncommon. Second attack really should be called Brave Bird though.

  Nosedive‘s debut in the English edition of the TCG. For the Japanese edition, the attack きゅうこうか had previously appeared on Lance’s Aerodactyl, as well as an unreleased Spearow card: https://archive.ph/9FlJ3

Mid-air Crush is super good!! I like the one-two punch of damage plus (potential) energy removal.
