Very strong in Gengar control/wall/disruption deck shell, also plays good in psybats.

One day, when the ‘if you go first, you can’t attack’ rule is finally errata’d out of existence, these cards are going to invoke awkward glances all over the place in casual matches.

Latios EX ROS from the same set does the same thing with an attack that does 40 damage for one Energy. It was a tech in Giratina EX AOR/Darkrai EX BKP decks for cheesing an early prize card in the Night March matchup.
