The second attack, Hyper Beam, costs three Colorless Energy to deal 60 damage and involves flipping a coin, with heads resulting in the discard of an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Its design emphasizes strategic disruption through forced switches and resource manipulation. The card’s mechanics focus on altering the opponent’s positioning and energy management during battles. It belongs to the Pokémon supertype and is part of the Japanese-language release. The card’s abilities reflect a tactical approach to gameplay by leveraging energy costs and defensive adjustments.
