Its attacks

Spiritual End

If you have 13 or more Pokémon that have the Hide 'n' Sneak Ability in your discard pile, choose 2 of your opponent's Pokémon and quadruple the number of damage counters on each of them.

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

    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.

  2. A strength

    Dhelmise runs it in 17 of the 36 lists we have read, seen across 17 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,331 tournament lists we have read, 2,012 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
