Description

Darkrai-EX (bw5-63, Rare Holo EX) is a Basic Darkness-type Pokémon-EX from the Dark Explorers set illustrated by Shizurow. It has the Dark Cloak Ability that makes any of your Pokémon with Darkness Energy attached have no Retreat Cost and an attack, Night Spear, that deals 90 damage and also does 30 damage to one of the opponent's Benched Pokémon. As a Pokémon-EX, it follows the Pokémon-EX rule where your opponent takes two Prize cards if it is Knocked Out, so it typically plays a high-risk, high-reward role in decks that can exploit free retreats.
