    Glowing Screen has to be one of the more unique abilities out there, as its hate of both dark AND fighting types was essentially unprecedented at the time, and possessed no similarity to Illumise’s performance in the games.

    Alternatively… Illumise could grant Volbeat a fairy type blessing before fairy types even existed!

    I like how much there is to this card despite being an uncommon. Nowadays most non-holo rares are nothing more than one or two simple attacks

    DF #𝟰𝟮 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮 also has a “Noise” attack that may inflict Confusion.
