Its Ability

Shadow Bind

150

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, Cursed Blast. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. A strength

    Alakazam / Dusknoir runs it in 52 of the 52 lists we have read, seen across 20 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness ×2. 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.
