What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. If you do, your turn ends. During your next turn, each of Ludicolo's attacks does 60 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). This power can't be used if Ludicolo is affected by a Special Condition.
The Defending Pokémon is now Confused.
After doing damage, remove from Ludicolo the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. Ludicolo can't use Best Dance during your next turn.

Where it came from
The Ludicolo card, numbered 34/127, was released in the Platinum expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in early 2009. This set served as the inaugural entry for the Platinum Series, which marked a transition in the game's competitive landscape by introducing the powerful Pokémon SP mechanic. As a Rare-tier card, Ludicolo was designed to provide utility within the Grass-type archetype, reflecting the franchise's emphasis on evolving strategies during the late Diamond and Pearl era.
The card features artwork by illustrator Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon series. Sugimori's work typically favors clean, character-focused poses that emphasize the specific personality and biological traits of the creature, in this case highlighting Ludicolo's vibrant, rhythmic aesthetic. The illustration was well-received by players of the time for its consistency with the established visual identity of the games, fitting seamlessly into the broader collection of cards that defined the transition into the Platinum block.
