The Darkrai card captures a moment shrouded in mystery, with the Pokémon enveloped in a dark, starry backdrop. Its shadowy figure, highlighted by a striking red collar, seems to float effortlessly, evoking a sense of calm yet eerie presence. The scene suggests that Darkrai is a guardian of dreams, quietly watching over the night, ready to influence the slumber of those nearby. This portrayal invites the viewer to ponder the balance between sleep and wakefulness in its enchanting world.
You may have your opponent switch the Defending Pokémon with 1 or his or her Benched Pokémon.
If the Defending Pokémon is Asleep, this attack does 40 damage plus 40 more damage. If the Defending Pokémon is not Asleep, that Pokémon is now Asleep.
