Its Ability

Sinkhole

Whenever your opponent's Active Pokémon retreats, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, this power does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power stops working while Dark Dugtrio is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Knock Down

20+

Your opponent flips a coin. If tails, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage; if heads, this attack does 20 damage.

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

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,126 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.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 2,554 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.

When it came out

Team Rocket landed here on 24 April 2000.
