Card text

Tackle たいあたり 10

String Wrap からまるいと 10

Flip a coin. If heads, until the end of your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat, and if the effect of an attack, Pokémon Power, Energy card, or Trainer card would change that player's Active Pokémon, that part of the effect does nothing.
