This card looks fun and I always find myself trying to make a deck for it. I start with Sableyes, Darkrai, Krookadile, then end up adding hammers 'cuz I'm playing Sableye, then dropping Krookadile for room ><

It's difficult to justify playing anything dark besides Darkrai with the dark-based support from Dark Explorers. Almost anything everyone else can do, Darkrai can do better and faster. Zoroark is the one exception, mostly because it's still fairly fast, strong, has access to the Foul Play version, and isn't an EX. Still, Darkrai is usually the preferred choice.

Krookadile, being a Stage 2, is not so fast. On the contrary, it doesn't start hitting hard until late in the game. Even after 4 prizes are taken, it still isn't OHKOing EX's =/ If Bombast were cheaper and a little more devastating, this card may have seen play. Even its first attack takes 3 turns to KO and non-eviolited EX.

5/10

This card is not that great but it has one lethal attack that can not be underestimated. Take your card and wave it in your opponent face. The sheer shinyness will blind them, rendering them unable to continue the game. Use at your own risk though.
