This is for unlimited format- Is there any card(s) that attack for free and do a fair amount of damage, its ok if you have to do something small for it to work, something kinda like Yanmega prime, or gyarados from stormfront. I am making a unlimited deck with those two, and wondering if there is anything else kinda like those! Help me out? Thanks! :)
 
the Baby pokemon tyrogue is a free 30 and puts you to sleep but with the ability sweet sleepy face you can not be hurt... That is until you get catcher/GOW
 
banette from secret wonders can do damage but it does damage to itself
also Mismagius from Stormfront can do damage but discards TMs in play
 
Neo Genesis Elekid has a power that lets you flip a coin, do 20 damage on heads, and it ends your turn either way. Basically a free attack, except it's a power instead. Also has the perk of having the Baby Power.
 
Oh and don't forget chandelure which puts 30 on Pokemon curse shadow
Also there is a Gengar that can KO a Pokemon if you flip heads when Gengar was KO
 
Its kind of hard to do "decent damage" for free without some drawback like flips or some conditions. But some other Pokemon that may interest you are Golduck from platinum(30 damage, 30 snipe if your opponent has any Water Energy attached) and Kingdra from Plasma Freeze, which does damage based on how many W/L energy you have in the discard pile(this a horrible way of explaining, read the card yourself to understand better).

Pretty much every other free attack that does damage does just 10, so they're probably not worth your time.

If you're looking for Powers etc., you have the whole litany people are listing such as SF Gengar, Neo Genesis Elekid etc.

Just because this has long been a source of confusion, it isn't a "Power" but a rule, with rules text printed on the card. Elekid also has rules text that allows it to Evolve into Electabuzz. Sorry if this ends up being nitpicking and everyone is on the same page, but like I said, I've had too many conversations where because people referred to it as the "Baby Power", it was mistaken for a Pokémon Power or later, a Poké-Power or Poké-Body.

Especially as "Baby Pokémon" as a specific mechanic (it was originally a specific sub-type of Basic Pokémon) was abandoned, but the Pokémon that were "pre-Evolutions" of Basic Pokémon still ended up getting a Poké-Body called "Baby Evolution" that allowed those cards to fake Evolving (and with extra benefits), and later still we got pre-Evolutions that had no way of Evolving into the corresponding Basic Pokémon that had "Sweet Sleeping Face", a Poké-Body that is not dissimilar to the Baby Rule.

...and Kingdra from Plasma Freeze, which does damage based on how many W/L energy you have in the discard pile(this a horrible way of explaining, read the card yourself to understand better).

The Kingdra in question requires :)colorless:) to use its "Dragon Vortex" attack (the one you are describing), so it wouldn't count as a "free" attacker.
 
Here is a card that is great in past spread decks. I used this card paired with Empoleon for spread and Claydol for my draw engine. I managed a LCQ 1st place, and top 32 at Worlds 2007.

Brongzong - Majestic Dawn

Poke-Body - Place a damage counter on any pokemon that has a Poke-Power

Pain Amplifier () - Put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokemon that has already has damage counters on it.
