Its Ability

When Dark Gyarados is Knocked Out by an attack, flip a coin. If heads, this power does 20 damage for each Water Energy attached to Dark Gyarados to the Pokémon that Knocked Out Dark Gyarados. Apply Weakness and Resistance. This power doesn't work if Dark Gyarados is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.Lorsque Léviator obscur est mis K.O. par une attaque, lancez une pièce. Si c'est face, ce pouvoir inflige 20 dégâts au Pokémon qui a mis K.O. Léviator obscur pour chaque Énergie attachée à Léviator obscur. Appliquez la Faiblesse et la Résistance. Ce pouvoir ne fonctionne pas si Léviator obscur est Endormi, Confus ou Paralysé.

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

    70 HP. Only 1 cards in Team Rocket carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
