Rulings

If Slowking with the "Seek Inspiration" attack copies Metagross's "Metallic Hammer" attack, and the Slowking has no Metal Energy attached, the Slowking player can have the attack do 150 more damage even without discarding any Metal Energy (as there are none to discard). However, if there are any Metal Energy attached to the Slowking, the player must discard them according to the attack text.[1]

Trivia

Origin

Bounce Back is an attack that first appeared on Bastiodon GL from Rising Rivals. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
