About this card
Bad News does no damage at all, and instead makes an opponent holding six cards or more discard down to five. In Japanese the attack carries the same word as Absol's Pokedex category, Disaster. Naoyo Kimura sets the Pokemon low in a green wood with light breaking between the trunks, a gentler setting than Absol usually gets.
