Duskull/Dusclops/Dusknoir - If we have a way to cheat stage 2s (I am not including Orbettle since it loses Triple Accel and getting Orbeetle in the first place is a problem), I can consider Dusknoir. Very useful in RS decks, or decks running solely special energy like Mad Party. 3/3/3

What about Rare Candy?Is it getting rotated?

He means cheat straight to the bench.

 

[LifePartTwo]

Could use dream ball

 

[GMAX_Snom]

Card is fine, the artwork tho aaaaaaaaah

Could use dream ball

not practical since you can blindly pick it up from prize cards

 

[LilTone96]

Good ability buts its still a stage 2 so its hard to get in the current format.

In combination with peonia. That combo has already been used in Jolteon decks.

I miss Orbeetle... ?

 

[Flygonite]

no good Duskull in format anymore so it's gonna be hard AF to actually setup this card. Rapid Strike decks already discard their energies for the most part, it isn't a Fusion mon so Mew likely doesn't want anything to do with it, and Single Strike already has problems setting up their Houndoom to add yet another brick.

Oh I see

 

[LightYearLiam]

This is a cool card, I like it. I hope they make Stage 2s better somehow so this is actually usable xP

 

[Valence77]

I think this is a cool card and artwork, but it is being held back by just being a stage 2. Even if they made the ability able to move around any type of energy, it probably still wouldn't see much play...

 

[pikal]

Yeah, I don't see what deck this would good enough in to make it worth playing. The only reason would be some sort of Cheryl deck but we have seen with corvinight/bronzong and Inteleon vmax that it isn't that successful.

You've still need to pick it up, if you want a T1 Dusknoir right now. Yeah, sure some Jolteon decks, like what you've said used that, what if in some decks that I've mentioned in the first comment? They really need to preserve their only 4 Twin Energy or 4 Double Turbo, since if all of them were in the discard, that's an auto-loss and no way to recover it.

i mean once you put dream ball into the prizes there's no guarentee you will hit it since its shuffled into the prizes so i don't see any point of wasting three spots for teching fighting matches against rapid strike and single strike urshifu vmax.
