Its attacks
Skill Hack
Look at your opponent's hand and choose a Basic Pokémon or Evolution card you find there. Choose 1 of that Pokémon's attacks. Skill Hack copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Shiftry ex's type is still Darkness.) Shiftry ex performs that attack.
Dirge
60Does 60 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has the same name as the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched 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.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- 140 HP. Only 4 cards in Power Keepers carry more.
- Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- None of the 3,240 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.
- It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
- Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,240 tournament lists we have read, 1,984 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.
