This card
This is card 048/084 from the Pitch Black set, printed as a Double Rare full art holofoil. The artwork, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, depicts Mega Darkrai in a swirling, spectral pose against a green and dark energy background. The card marks the Pokémon ex and Mega Evolution ex rule subset within the set.
How it plays
Mega Darkrai ex is a Basic Pokémon with 280 HP, weak to Grass-type attacks (x2) and retreat cost of two. Its first attack, Dusk Raid, costs two Psychic energy and deals 110+ damage, dealing 110 more if any of the player's Benched Pokémon have damage counters on them. Its second attack, Abyss Eye, costs three Psychic energy and knocks out the opponent's Active Pokémon instantly if it is affected by a Special Condition. As with other Mega Evolution ex Pokémon, when this card is Knocked Out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of the usual one.
