Gameplay relevance and mechanics

Lillie’s Clefairy ex 173/159 is a Basic Pokémon ex of the Psychic type with 190 HP. The card has the following gameplay characteristics:

• Ability – Fairy Zone: Changes the weakness of all opponent’s Dragon Pokémon to Psychic Weakness (×2). Effective against decks that focus on Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Attack – Full Moon Rondo: Deals 20 damage plus 20 more for each benched Pokémon (both sides). This can escalate quickly in decks with full benches.
• Regulation mark I: The card is legal in Standard and Expanded formats at release.
