Coupling this card with another that has the Pokemon Power to force Sleep (Darkrai MD, Venusaur, Vileplume) might be fun.

5/10
 
Dark pokemon have two nice pluses:
- special dark energy
- I have yet to see a Pokemon with resistance to dark (I may have missed one)

If this Darkrai just had 20 more HP to make it a little less vulnerable, it would be really good.

5.5/10
 
Sleeping is good for you. LOL. Force sleep with Powers to rule with this guy! PLay it with Weavile SW to charge it up with Special Dark energy. And of couse consider some back-up from it's G counter-part. As for dealing with Mewtwo Lv. X, try Shiftry just to as a dark Pokemon. 7/10

~May the Will be done.
 
Bonus card 2 is Darkrai #4 from GE, a good offensive option instead of the sleep-inducing MD one. Statwise, 80 HP is nice for a Basic, +20 Weakness to :fighting: is bad, -20 Resistance to :psychic: is helpful, and :colorless to Retreat is cheap. Darkness Roar deals a basic 10 for :colorless and gives you the option of forcing a switch. Sleep Hole is a bit pricey at :dark::dark::colorless for 40, but it either deals 40 more if the Defending is sleeping, or inflicts Sleep if they're not, so the cost is somewhat justifiable.

Modified - 6/10 (Gives you more offensive options if you level this up into its Lv X form, but that's about it)
Limited - 8/10 (Decently effective if you can get Sleep Hole up and running)
Unlimited - 1/10 (Not much use)
