Its Ability

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
It has an Ability, Cursed Blast. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Alakazam / Dusknoir runs it in 117 of the 117 lists we have read, seen across 78 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
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.
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.
Keep in mind
Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 7,517 tournament lists we have read, 4,606 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
