Attack Sharp Fang (30)
Attack Dark Streak (40): Flip a coin. If heads, each Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Card Details
Character Background
Dark Gyarados from Team Rocket is a classic control-leaning Stage 1 that punishes opponents even in defeat, making it a strong fit for tempo and attrition strategies. Ice Beam gives you a straightforward 30 damage with a chance to Paralyze, which can buy crucial turns and force awkward retreats, while Final Beam turns Knocked Out into a threat by potentially blasting the attacker for 20 damage per Water Energy attached. That means the best deckbuilding plan is to load it with extra Water Energy, accelerate attachment if your format allows it, and pair it with effects that keep it active and safe from status conditions, since being Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed shuts off the retaliatory power. In practice, Dark Gyarados rewards careful timing: pressure the board, force trades, and make your opponent think twice before swinging into a fully powered version.
