What this card does

It can swap places with a safer Pokémon on the bench using Strafe.

It deals 90 damage to the main attacker and 30 to a weaker one on the bench.

It discards two Energy cards from the opponent using its GX attack.

Signature attack

Shadow Bullet

This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (90 damage)

The key feature is Dark Call-GX. It removes two Energy cards from any of your opponent's Pokémon. This stops them from using powerful attacks and slows their progress in the game.
