Which deck it belongs in

This card suits a deck that uses many Darkness Energy cards to keep its protection active. It also works well in decks that generate lots of discarded Energy, allowing it to refill itself easily.

Watch out for
  • Vulnerable to Water types
  • Requires discarding energy to attack

Attach at least one Darkness Energy before playing it in. This ensures the ability works immediately and stops opponents from exploiting its weakness.

Entei is known as the volcano Pokemon and is said to be born from the eruption of a volcano.

Note for the parent

Remember that because it is an ex Pokemon, if your child knocks it out, the opponent gets two prize cards instead of one.
