| Whenever you attach a Darkness Energy from your Energy Zone to this Pokémon, do 20 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon. |

Attaching Energy to Darkrai ex Deals 20 Damage
Darkrai ex's Nightmare Aura Ability allows it to deal 20 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon every time it an Energy is attached to it from the Energy Zone.
Since Darkrai ex is a Basic Pokemon, it can immediately start dealing damage with its Ability.
However, note that transferring Energy using Dawn or Other energy accelerators does not activate Darkrai ex's Ability, as the Energy has to be attached from the Energy Zone.
Strong Synergies With Cyrus and Weavile ex
Because of its chip damage potential, Darkrai ex is best paired with cards like Weavile ex or Cyrus that benefit from damaged Pokemon.
Weavile ex gains an extra 40 damage to its attack if the Defending Pokemon is damaged, while Cyrus can pull in any damaged Pokemon from the Bench into the Active Spot—making for very strategic plays.

Weaken Pokemon From The Bench For a OHKO
A way to maximize Darkrai ex's Ability is to attach Energy while the it is in the Bench, so you can deal damage without putting Darkrai ex at risk. Once the HP of the Defending Pokemon is within range of your Attack, you can switch in with Darkrai ex or another attacker like Giratina ex to land an OHKO.
You can also make use of Red to increase the damage of your attacker by 20 if it needs that extra boost.

Consider Pairing With Other Chip Damage Cards
You can stack the effects of Darkrai ex's Ability with other Pokemon or Tools that cause chip damage.
Chip damage can build up over time, pressuring your opponent to retreat when their Pokemon's HP is in low. This is when you can surprise them with Cyrus, securing your victory.
