The item and weakness make for a cool thingy…….

Still the lack of HP means it’d have to be hit by a pretty weak Fighting Type move.

As someone barely familiar with the time period of this card’s release, I’d split the difference between your opinions, Logan and Blob Takeshi. The card hit North America in 2008, so around the time of DP: Majestic Dawn. From what I remember and am seeing (with a quick glance), Enigma Berry had a window of opportunity before an opponent’s Fighting deck really got going; three Energy attacks on fully Evolved Pokémon might still score a KO sans Weakness, single Energy attacks would just barely whiff, and two Energy attacks could go either way. :)
Which is NOT me saying this card ever saw competitive play, or that Fighting decks were all over the competitive metagame at the time. Off the top of my head, I just don’t remember. XD

So, what’s the design idea behind this card? Did Darkrai steal Palkia and Dialga’s signature moves?
Ambassador
Yes. There was a special distribution of a Darkrai with both moves around the time this card released. (There might have been several distributions of Darkrai with both moves, actually.)
Twylis
Iirc that Darkrai was also holding an Enigma Berry, so this is a *very* thorough reference.
