Explosive Evolution

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance. Then, search your deck for an Evolution card named Dark Tyranitar and put it on Dark Pupitar. (This counts as evolving Dark Pupitar.) Shuffle your deck afterward.
