What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Golduck is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon (choose 1 if there are 2) is now Confused. This power can't be used if Golduck is affected by a Special Condition.
If the Defending Pokémon has any Special Energy cards attached to it, this attack does 30 damage plus 40 more damage.

Where it came from
The Golduck card from the EX Sandstorm expansion was released in 2003 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's transition to the EX series era. This set was notable for introducing the Pokémon-ex mechanic, which featured powerful cards with increased hit points and special abilities, fundamentally changing the game's competitive landscape. Golduck, while not an EX card itself, was included as a rare staple to bolster water-type decks during this mechanical shift.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita opted for a dynamic, action-oriented portrayal of the Pokémon, utilizing his characteristic style to capture Golduck in a natural habitat. At the time of release, players and collectors appreciated the card for its functional utility in specific water-based archetypes and its contribution to the overall aesthetic continuity of the Sandstorm set.
