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

    380 HP, and nothing in Pitch Black goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Falling Down hits for 270 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Pitch Black hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    Wailord ex runs it in 28 of the 28 lists we have read, seen across 24 different tournaments.

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  6. Keep in mind

    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.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 281 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
