The Pokémon has two attacks: Bounce Back, which costs Metal and two Colorless energy to deal 30 damage and force the opponent to switch the defending Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, and Smack Attack, which requires Metal and three Colorless energy to deal 60 damage while removing a damage counter from Bastiodon GL itself.
