![]() Nevertheless, Dusk Mane is one of the few actual chase cards from this set and it’s a good one at that, and surely, like Buzzwole-GX did, the hype it gives will transform into multiple successes in tournaments, both big and small. If Magnezone gets up late, Dusk Mane might has just been an easy two prizes because it failed to get anything out. Just like Black Kyurem-EX (BW PLS) Black Ballista which is bad normally but with the help of Blastoise becomes a nuking god, Dusk Mane is very dependent of Magnezone to be able to actually do anything. However, as good as Dusk Mane is, it is one of those cards whose weakness is dependency. They might though, if Dusk Mane sees a lot of play. Being a Metal type also has its merits – it overkills all Fairy decks, deals heavy dents in any other decks, and the main rival of Metal decks which are Electric decks are not very popular. 190 HP also means that it isn’t easily retaliated back as well. Both attacks also have their situational uses – Sun’s Eclipse GX can be use if your setup is a bit laggy and can afford to use an overkill nuke, and Claw Slash can be used to OHKO evolving basic Pokemon which has 60 HP without having to discard 3 energies every turn. It also has two other attacks in Sun’s Eclipse GX for that deals 250 damage but you can only use it only if you have more prizes left than the opponent and Claw Slash for that deals 60 damage. But when Magnezone’s Magnetic Circuit ability and engine is thrown in… there’s where the party starts! Now you have a mon which can now stream 220 damage every turn and loop in the energies discarded by Meteor Tempest via Magnetic Circuit, OHKOing everything in sight. It doesn’t have build in energy acceleration or energy recovery abilities or attacks to stream Meteor Tempest every turn. ![]() For it deals a whopping 220 damage (250 with a Choice Band) and it discards 3 energies attached to it after attacking. But come on, we don’t look at Dusk Mane for the stats Celesteela-GX is the Metal Pokemon you might want to look if you want to be impressed by card stats.Īll eyes are headed towards one attack – the very aptly named Meteor Tempest. As well as being the main face of Ultra Prism, Dusk Mane Necrozma may just be the face of nuking Pokemon in the 2 years it will be in the Standard format.Īs it is a nuker, its build isn’t designed to be that high – 190 HP is quite high for a Basic Pokemon-GX, its a Metal type which carries the standard type matchups and a heavy 3 retreat cost, the same as what a normal Solgaleo might have. Lo and behold, the best recipient for Magnetic Circuit is here. If you can get going in your setup and your opponent can’t respond quick enough, you could win the game! In Limited, if you pulled this, it would be a must run for using Claw Slash and Sun’s Ecplise, but if you get 2-2-2 Magnezone line, then Meteor Tempest becomes easy to spam as well. Overall, Dusk Mane Necrozma GX is the new Black Kyurem EX of BW Plasma Storm. Sun’s Ecplise can actually be good if you lacked Choice Band or fall short of an OHKO due to Metal Resistance and/or other damage reduction cards. Discarding three energies also means that opposing Gardevoir or X-Ball variants can’t punish you too hard due to having fewer energies. ![]() With those supportive pieces, Dusk Mane Necrozma GX can reliably use Meteor Tempest with ease while smacking for 220 damage, and backed with Choice Band means you can OHKO any Pokemon. Thus, you have a lot of reliable engine to meet any attack costs associated with metal or Colorless with ease. Magnezone provides unlimited Metal energy attachments while Mt. Fortunately, this set also brings Magnezone and Mt. This Pokémon gives me the impression that it is a solid beatstick that needs support because the energy costs take a long while to get powered up. Claw Slash does 60 for CCC Meteor Tempest does 220 for MMMC with a forced three energy discard and Sun’s Eclipse does 250 for MMM if you are behind on prizes. The attacks are nothing special, just some attacks that does damage without other useful effects. When one looks at Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX, one might wonder how to make use of this Pokémon. ![]()
