Description
The 2013 release of Pokémon XY Black Star Promos introduced the legendary Darkrai as card number XY22. This holo promo card is a Basic Darkness-type Pokémon with 120 HP, designed to challenge opponents through status effects rather than raw damage output. Created by artist Sanosuke Sakuma, the card utilizes the 'Hypnoblast' attack to induce sleep on the opponent's Active Pokémon, setting up strategic advantages for subsequent turns. Its 'Deep Wind' attack offers additional power and healing if the target is already asleep, making it a versatile tool for players who control the board state. Collectors often seek this promo for its connection to the XY era and its distinct holo finish. Darkrai's role as a mythical Pokémon adds to its appeal among those who appreciate the lore and design of the Generation VI card set. For investors and hobbyists alike, this card represents a tangible piece of Pokémon TCG history from 2013. It is a key component for those building complete sets of the XY Black Star Promos series or focusing on legendary Pokémon collections. The card's design and mechanics reflect the competitive depth of that period, offering both nostalgic value and gameplay utility.
