Attack: Leer
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack Cyndaquil during your opponent's next turn. (Benching or evolving either Pokémon ends this effect.)
Attack: Swift (20)
This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Pokémon Powers, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.
It usually stays hunched over. If it is angry or surprised, it shoots flames out of its back.
