Lore

Why it matters

As part of the BW Black Star Promos set, this Darkrai-EX card features the Night Spear attack, which was a defining move in the competitive Pokémon Trading Card Game landscape during the early 2010s. Its status as a promotional release and its high utility in popular "Darkrai-Tornadus" deck archetypes have made it a notable piece for collectors focusing on the Black & White era.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Darkrai-EX card, cataloged as BW46 in the Black Star Promo set, was released in 2012 as part of the promotional support for the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Black & White series. It was distributed primarily through the Darkrai Collection box, offering players an immediate opportunity to include the Mythical Pokémon in their decks during a competitive era defined by the rise of the EX card mechanic.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, who utilized the high-contrast aesthetic typical of the EX era to emphasize Darkrai’s spectral, shadowy presence. The design was received favorably by the competitive community at the time, as its 'Night Spear' attack provided both offensive pressure and bench damage, making it a staple card for players looking to capitalize on Darkness-type synergy in the 2012 tournament landscape.
