Darkrai ex Pros and Cons

Can Deal Damage from the Bench

Darkrai ex can deal 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon with its Ability whenever you attach a Darkness Energy to it. Since this effect works even from the Bench, it is a rare Pokemon that can deal damage outside the Active Spot.

Best Used with Low Energy Attackers

To maximize its Ability, you need to keep attaching Darkness Energy to Darkrai ex. Pairing it with Pokemon that deal damage with minimal Energy, such as Weavile ex and Weezing, makes for a powerful combination.
