Darkrai G
Rotated OutA tricky Dark-type that disrupts your opponent's sleep strategy.
What this card does
It uses Eerie Aura to place damage counters on sleeping Pokémon at the end of each turn.
Its Darkness Sleep attack puts the defending Pokémon to sleep if it already has damage counters.
Eerie Aura
Put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon that remains Asleep between turns.
This card thrives when your opponent relies on putting their own Pokémon to sleep. The Eerie Aura ability turns that strategy against them by dealing extra damage every turn, while the attack adds more sleep to confuse the opponent.
Attacks
If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, that Pokémon is now Asleep.
Abilities
Put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon that remains Asleep between turns.
