Its Ability

Dark Palm

Once during your turn (before your attack), if your opponent has 4 or more Benched Pokémon, you may choose 1 of them and shuffle that Pokémon and all cards attached to it into his or her deck. This power can't be used if Dusknoir is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Hard Feelings

Put 5 damage counters on the Defending Pokémon. Then, count the number of Prize cards your opponent has taken and put that many damage counters on the Defending Pokémon.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Dark Palm. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Dusclops to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness +30. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,987 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
