Its Ability

Darkness Navigation暗闇のナビゲーション

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Dark Electrode has no Energy attached to it, you may search your deck for a Darkness or Dark Metal Energy and attach it to Dark Electrode. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Dark Electrode is affected by a Special Condition.ターン中（攻撃前）に、暗い電極にエネルギーが付着していない場合は、デッキを検索して暗闇や暗い金属エネルギーを検索し、暗い電極に取り付けることができます。その後、デッキをシャッフルします。暗い電極が特別な状態の影響を受ける場合、この電力は使用できません。

Its attacks

You may move all Energy cards attached to Dark Electrode to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like.暗い電極に取り付けられたすべてのエネルギーカードを、好きな方法でベンチ付きポケモンに移動できます。

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

    Energy Bomb hits for 30 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Team Rocket Returns hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    It has an Ability, Darkness Navigation. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 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 Returns landed here on 1 November 2004.
