Its Ability

Dark Spell

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Misdreavus is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, put 1 damage counter on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This power can't be used if Misdreavus is affected by a Special Condition or if your other Active Pokémon is not Misdreavus.

Its attacks

Hide in Shadows

20

Switch Misdreavus with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

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

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

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 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 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 3,489 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.
