Strategy & play

How Dusknoir plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Shadow Bind) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 150 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥80 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.

How to beat Dusknoir

  • Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥80 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

How can I tell if my Dusknoir is real?
