Attacker

Strategy & play

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

  • Not a main attacker — its job is card selection. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
  • Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Darkness type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass 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.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Inkay

  • Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
  • KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Inkay is real?

Inkay is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
