Poké-POWER ⇢ Shadow Command
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw 2 cards. If you have 7 or more cards in your hand, discard a number of cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. Then, put 2 damage counters on Dusknoir. This power can’t be used if Dusknoir is affected by a Special Condition.
{P}{C} → Damage Even
Count the number of damage counters on Dusknoir. Put that many damage counters on 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon.
{P}{P}{C} → Night Spin : 50
Prevent all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Dusknoir by your opponent’s Pokémon that has 2 or less Energy attached to it during your opponent’s next turn.

“2 or less Energy”? Let’s get some better grammar TPCi!
JP
If you mean “less” vs “fewer”, Pokemon has always preferred using the former when talking about Energy in play (even though Energy is countable). It’s something I’ve always wondered about!
Twylis
“Fewer” would definitely be more correct with Energy (the TCG construct), but I imagine most word processors would probably take umbrage with that phrase since energy (the real-world concept) is uncountable and prompt changing “fewer” to “less”. Presumably nobody at TPCi has looked into it enough to notice all these years :U
Twylis
Thinking about it, this grammatical quirk might have been the actual motivation behind many early translations using the phrase “Energy cards” in place of just “Energy”, mentioned by Ambassador on Scizor E4. Cards are countable, but energy isn’t, so word processors (and people more preoccupied with grammar than gameplay) would be happier with the former.
