Its primary attack, Damage Roller, requires one Psychic Energy and deals damage by placing counters on the defending Pokémon until its remaining HP matches Swalot’s. If the defending Pokémon’s HP is equal to or less than Swalot’s, this attack has no effect. The secondary attack, Entangle Tackle, costs two Psychic and one Colorless Energy, dealing 50+ damage. Players may choose to add an additional 30 damage, which also inflicts 30 damage to one of their own Pokémon. This attack bypasses Weakness and Resistance for the damage dealt.
