Its Ability

Cursed Blastカースドボム

Once during your turn, you may put 13 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. If you use this Ability, this Pokémon is Knocked Out.自分の番に1回使えて、使ったなら、このポケモンをきぜつさせる。相手のポケモン1匹に、ダメカンを13個のせる。

Shadow Bindかげしばり

150

During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat.次の相手の番、このワザを受けたポケモンは、にげられない。

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

  2. A strength

    Alakazam / Dusknoir runs it in 88 of the 88 lists we have read, seen across 50 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Dusclops to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 3,349 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
