What it does
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack. (Benching or evolving the Defending Pokémon ends this effect.)
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon; if tails, this attack does 10 damage to each of your own Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Because the long hair all over its body obscures its sight, it just keeps charging repeatedly.

Where it came from
Piloswine first appeared in the Neo Genesis expansion, released in the year 2000 as the inaugural set of the second generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant milestone by introducing the Johto region to the card game, featuring the brand new Water and Darkness energy types. As a Water-type evolution of Swinub, Piloswine represented the expanded diversity of creatures that players encountered following the release of the Pokémon Gold and Silver video games.
The artwork for this card was provided by Kagemaru Himeno, a central figure in the early visual identity of the Pokémon TCG. Himeno’s design emphasizes the creature’s prehistoric, hulking aesthetic, utilizing a soft, illustrative style that was characteristic of the Neo series. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard uncommon utility piece, noted by players for its grounded portrayal of the Ice-Swine Pokémon within the growing mechanical landscape of the game.
