Oracle Text
Attack Darkness Shield (20): Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of an attack, including damage, done to each of your Active Pokémon during your opponent's next turn.
Attack Cold Crush (40): You may discard an Energy card attached to Dark Golduck. If you do, discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.
Card Details
Character Background
Dark Golduck from Team Rocket feels like a deliberately off-balance evolution: a Water Stage 1 that has been warped into a sneaky, resource-minded role rather than a straightforward attacker. Its best home is in a control or value-oriented deck, where “Third Eye” turns excess Energy into fresh cards, letting you dig for key Trainers, Evolutions, or a needed finisher while keeping your hand moving. That discard cost is not a drawback if you can recycle or afford the Energy, so pairing Dark Golduck with Energy Retrieval-style effects, low-Energy attackers, or a deck that wants to discard Energy anyway makes the draw effect much stronger. “Super Psy” for 50 gives it enough bite to punish slower setups, especially when you’re already ahead on tempo. In practice, Dark Golduck rewards patient play: evolve it early, maintain a steady stream of Energy, and use its draw to outlast opponents rather than race them.
