It doggedly pursues its prey wherever it goes. However, the chase is abandoned at sunrise.

Can you use this Ability on turn #1?
If so, in Unlimited it’s a great way to get out CG Dusclops to block Special Energy attachment.

In Expanded, an even more egregious combo will be possible with the new Dusclops that is going to debut in Shrouded Fable! I already saw an insane donk deck that uses it!

I think there’s a decent chance of this Duskull getting banned. Battle Compressor paired with Plasma Freeze Exeggcute trivializes the discard cost, and Buddy-Buddy Poffin enables a full four Duskull to get into play fairly easily.
200 damage on turn 1, that can be split up among potentially four pokemon in increments of 50, even for the player going first. That’s probably a bit busted.

Oh, and if you have a Rescue Stretcher handy and a way to search for more Duskulls, you could potentially bring the damage even higher.

Idk if it got banned officially… but in only the last couple weeks it was banned in the Live app.
