Pecharunt ex
A clever piece that moves your Dark Pokémon around the board.
What this card does
Pecharunt ex is a Basic Darkness Pokémon. Its main value is its Ability, which lets you shuffle which of your Pokémon is in the Active spot.
It can swap one of your Benched Darkness Pokémon into the Active position, and the new Active Pokémon then becomes Poisoned. Its attack grows stronger the more Prize cards the opponent has already taken.
Subjugating Chains
Once during your turn, you may switch 1 of your Benched Darkness Pokémon, except any Pecharunt ex, with your Active Pokémon. If you do, the new Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. You can't use more than 1 Subjugating Chains Ability each turn.
Subjugating Chains can be used once during your turn. It switches one of your Benched Darkness Pokémon, other than another Pecharunt ex, into the Active spot, and that new Active Pokémon is then Poisoned. This gives you free movement to get the right attacker out front, although you do poison your own Pokémon in the process.
Attacks
This attack does 60 damage for each Prize card your opponent has taken.
Abilities

Pecharunt controls others using poisoned chains in the games, which is exactly how its Subjugating Chains Ability works on the card.
As an ex, it gives up two Prize cards if knocked out, so it is best kept on the Bench using its Ability rather than sent out to attack.
