What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Sudowoodo from your hand onto Bonsly (this counts as evolving Bonsly) and remove all damage counters from Bonsly.
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent can't play any Trainer cards from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn, and any damage done to Bonsly by attacks is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
It looks as if it is always crying. It is actually adjusting its body's fluid levels by eliminating excess.

Where it came from
The Bonsly card, numbered 71/130, was released in the 2007 Diamond & Pearl expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the beginning of the fourth generation of Pokémon cards, introducing players to the Sinnoh region and the Fighting-type mechanics associated with the rock-like Bonsly. It was designed to coincide with the release of the Nintendo DS games, serving as a functional entry point for new collectors entering the hobby during this transition in game generations.
The artwork for this card features the delicate, bonsai-like Pokémon in a standard pose characteristic of the early Diamond & Pearl aesthetic. The design focuses on a minimalist, clean layout that prioritized clarity for gameplay, adhering to the established visual language of Ken Sugimori and the Creatures Inc. design team. As a common card, it was widely distributed in booster packs, becoming a staple for players building basic Fighting-type decks during the 2007 competitive season.
