Its attacks

Darkness LostObscurité perdue

This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If any of your opponent's Pokémon would be Knocked Out by damage from this attack, put that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead of discarding it.Cette attaque inflige 30 dégâts à chacun des Pokémon de votre adversaire. (Vous ne pouvez pas appliquer la Faiblesse et la Résistance aux Pokémon de Banc.) Si les dégâts de cette attaque mettent K.O 1 des Pokémon de votre adversaire, placez ce Pokémon ainsi que toutes les cartes qui lui sont attachées dans la Zone Perdue au lieu de les défausser.

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

    130 HP. Only 2 cards in Platinum carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. 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.

  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 Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,313 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

Platinum landed here on 11 February 2009.
