Oracle Text
Ability Darkness Guard: As long as Rocket's Zapdos ex has any Darkness Energy attached to it, damage done to Rocket's Zapdos ex by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance)."
Attack Plasma (10): Search your discard pile for a Lightning Energy card and attach it to Rocket's Zapdos ex."
Attack Raging Thunder (60): This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your Pokémon.
Card Details
Character Background
Rocket's Zapdos ex fits best in a tempo-control shell that wants to trade efficiently while pressuring the board with a disciplined attacker. Darkness Guard is deceptively useful: with any Darkness Energy attached, every opposing hit is softened, which makes this ex much harder to remove and buys time to keep your engine running. Plasma is the real setup glue, letting you recycle Lightning Energy from the discard pile and steadily refill Zapdos after self-inflicted costs or discard-based acceleration. Raging Thunder hits for a modest 60 but asks you to deal 30 to one of your own Pokémon, so it rewards careful bench management and damage-mitigation tricks; pair it with low-value or easily healed targets, or use it when a damaged Pokémon can be finished off anyway. Decks that include Energy recovery, switching, and healing effects will get the most from its flexible, grindy pressure.
