Coalossal has the potential to deal massive damage thanks to its move Gatling Tar. The move itself costs only a single Fighting Energy and deals 40 damage. For each extra Basic Fire Energy attached to Coalossal, Gatling Tar deals 80 more damage. This makes the deck a deceptively powerful single-Prize attacker like Feraligatr or Ethan’s Typhlosion.
