Dusknoir (Stormfront, 1/100) is a Psychic-type Stage 2 Pokémon that is designed to give players a lot of options. Its Shadow Command Poké-Power allows you to draw 2 cards. If you have 7 or more cards in your hand, you have to discard until you have 6 cards and then put 2 damage counters on Dusknoir. This may sound odd, but it works well with the Gripper Pokémon’s Damage Even attack. This attack allows you to put the same number of damage counters on one of your opponent’s Pokémon that is on Dusknoir.

Considering that Dusknoir has 120 HP, there is a lot of potential to strike big. Night Spin is also a nifty attack, hitting for 50 and then preventing all effects of an attack, including damage, done by Pokémon with 2 Energy or less on the next turn. Watch out for Dusknoir's +30 Weakness to Darkness-type, and see what this hefty Stage 2 Pokémon can do for your deck!
