Dark Arbok
Oracle Text
Attack Swallow Up (10+): Before doing damage, count the remaining HP of the Defending Pokémon and Dark Arbok. If the Defending Pokémon has fewer remaining HP than Dark Arbok's, this attack does 10 damage plus 30 more damage.
Attack Extra Poison (30): If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep and Poisoned.
Card Details
Character Background
Dark Arbok from Team Rocket Returns feels like a sneaky tempo-to-control attacker: it thrives when you can keep its HP high while forcing awkward trades, then punish weakened targets with Swallow Up’s scaling damage. Because the attack checks remaining HP before damage, you get the best results after softening an opposing Pokémon with chip damage, poison, or spread effects so Dark Arbok can finish it cleanly. Extra Poison gives it a very relevant anti-ex Pokémon angle, layering Sleep and Poison for disruptive board control and potential turn denial. In deckbuilding, pair it with damage counters, status support, and ways to heal or protect Dark Arbok so its HP stays above the target’s; that makes Swallow Up much more threatening. Thematically, it fits Team Rocket’s underhanded style perfectly—patient, corrosive, and opportunistic rather than brute-force aggressive.
