What this card does

Night Watch forces your opponent to reveal two random cards from their hand and shuffle them back into their deck.

Pale Moon GX knocks out the Defending Pokemon at the end of their next turn, and can discard all Energy if you attach extra Psychic Energy.

Signature attack

Night Watch

Choose 2 random cards from your opponent’s hand. Your opponent reveals those cards and shuffles them into their deck. (150 damage)

This card uses a two-part strategy to control the game. It first hides the opponent's plans by shuffling their hand away, then sets up a guaranteed win with a delayed attack that ignores most defences.

Pale Moon GX

At the end of your opponent’s next turn, the Defending Pokémon will be Knocked Out. If this Pokémon has at least 1 extra Psychic Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack’s cost), discard all Energy from your opponent’s Active Pokémon. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that focus on controlling the opponent's resources and managing energy attachment carefully. It works best when paired with cards that help attach Psychic Energy quickly.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that GX attacks can only be used once per game, so they should save Pale Moon GX for a decisive moment.
