  • However, Maushold ex isn’t just a passive wall. With a Spiky Energy attached, it can use its move Nom-Nom-Nom Incisors. Spiky Energy further chips the opponent.
  • Lycanroc can come in and attach two Spiky Energy from the discard pile. Its move Clamping Fangs becomes more powerful the more damage the opponent has taken, making it a powerful late-game cleaner against already weakened Pokemon.
