With the release of Neo Genesis, a new stall/trap Pokemon

is released- Piloswine who can stop your opponent from attacking. It's first attack reads:

 

2 water energy- Freeze(10) Flip a coin. if heads the defending pokemon can't attack.(Benching or evolving

the defending pokemon ends this effect.)

 

Some players may not notice how dangerous this is with a combo of Gust of wind, Lass and the rocket's trap trainer cards.

 

To get the best out of this attack,use gust of wind to get an defending pokemon with a high retreat cost,play lass to get rid of any switch trainer cards in the opponent's hand and/or 

use the rocket's trap to strip down the opponent's hand then keep trying until you get a heads with Freeze.

Finally use Piloswine's other attack(Blizzard) to knock out the defending pokemon,and then the cycle goes on.
