Official card text

Trample This creature enters with two +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on another permanent you control, if it's the first time +1/+1 counters have been put on that permanent this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

How it works : Botanical Brawler

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    For each other permanent you control, Botanical Brawler will count +1/+1 counters having been put on that permanent at any time during that turn, even if Botanical Brawler wasn't on the battlefield at that time. For example, if a +1/+1 counter is put on a creature you control, then you cast Botanical Brawler, then another +1/+1 counter is put on that first creature, Botanical Brawler's last ability won't trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Whenever another permanent enters the battlefield under your control with one or more +1/+1 counters on it, Botanical Brawler's last ability will trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
