Strategy & play
How Dark Octillery plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Inflicts Paralysis — the Defending Pokémon can’t attack or retreat for a turn. A reliable one-turn lock; chain it to stall the opponent out.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥30 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Remoraid; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Dark Octillery
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

About this card
"It likes to sleep in rock caves and will even steal other Octillery's nests."
WInk Blast — 20+
This attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Dark Octillery but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way.
WCTentacle Wrap — 20
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If tails, during your opponent's next turn, your opponent pays Colorless more to retreat the Defending Pokémon.
Weakness:L×2
Retreat cost:CC

How can I tell if my Dark Octillery is real?
