What this card does

It deals extra damage for every darkness energy on your side of the field.

It allows you to retrieve two dark pokemon from the discard pile to your bench.

It can attach additional energy to those retrieved pokemon if it has extra energy attached.

Signature attack

Dark Pulse

This attack does 30 more damage times the amount of Darkness Energy attached to all of your Pokémon. (30+ damage)

This card acts as a recovery engine by pulling other dark pokemon from the discard pile back into play. It also scales its damage output based on how much darkness energy you have accumulated across your team.
