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 a card that evolves from Dark Pupitar and put it on Dark Pupitar. (This counts as evolving Dark Pupitar.) Shuffle your deck afterward.
