hmm... Uh, well, I guess you can 1-shot Groudon/Landorus/Ho-Oh/Entei/Reshiram EX T1 if you get the following:
Ho-oh + water + ultra ball + DCE + energy switch + Alomomola in your opening hand + 3 heads between Ho-Oh and the Double Slap attack itself.

In all honesty, though, this card is horrendous. Everything it does is done better by something else. 90 HP is 1-shot by Darkrai, 2 retreat is too low for heavy but too high for skyarrow, no resistance, lightning weak, 30 for 2 + ER on flip and and average of 50 for 3 (on flips!)

About the only thing cool about this card is the name of the Pokémon is a Palindrome.

:water::colorless::colorless: for a flippy attack is terrible, high retreat, low HP, no potential. Anything this dude does, Crygonal or Starmie could do better for less energy.

I have to admit the Mysterious Beam seems like a decent attack because you can discard an Energy card attached to your opponet's Defending Pokemon. But the coin flip makes it seem less attractive....
