    Very strong in Gengar control/wall/disruption deck shell, also plays good in psybats.
    the 30+90 damage hurts a lot with a good bat hand / Dimension Valley

    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.

      Kind of like the “each defending Pokemon” cards of the RS era?

    still confused about the first turn attack

      Starting in the X & Y Series, if you go first, your Pokémon can’t attack during your first turn; this Deoxys overrides this rule for the Close Encounter attack.

        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.
