It requires one Colorless energy to retreat and has no resistances, making it weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage.

The second attack, Thunder Blast, uses three Colorless energy to deal 90 damage while discarding an Energy attached to the Pokémon. The card’s flavor text describes its tail discharging electricity into the ground, providing protection from electrical shocks.
