Its Ability

Darkest Impulse最も暗い衝動

As long as Dark Ampharos is in play, whenever your opponent plays an Evolution card from his or her hand to evolve 1 of his or her Pokémon, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon. You can't use more than 1 Darkest Impulse Poké-Body each turn.ダークアンファロが機能している限り、相手が手から進化カードをプレイして、ポカンの1つを進化させるたびに、そのポカンに2つのダメージカウンターを置きます。最も暗いインパルスポカ - ボディごとに1ターンを使用することはできません。

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.

A strength
120 HP, and nothing in Team Rocket Returns goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
A strength
Shock Bolt hits for 70 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Team Rocket Returns hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Darkest Impulse. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,710 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.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Dark Flaaffy to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,710 tournament lists we have read, 1,287 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.
