Pokédex entry
As it scatters toxic sweat and emits electricity, a melody that sounds like it came from a guitar reverberates through the surrounding area.
毒の 汗を ほとばしらせながら 電気を 放つとき あたりに ギターのような メロディが 響く。

Rulings

For the "Sinister Surge" Ability:

  • A player may use "Sinister Surge" on their Benched Darkness-type Pokémon with 20 HP or less; if they do, the 2 damage counters placed from the Ability will cause that Pokémon to be Knocked Out.[1][2] The text for the "Sinister Surge" Ability has no clause prohibiting it from being used on a Pokémon that would be Knocked Out by it (unlike in eg. Gardevoir ex's "Psychic Embrace" Ability).
  • When using "Sinister Surge", the player may choose to not get out any Basic Darkness (Darkness) Energy cards from their deck, in which case they shuffle their deck and end the process.[1]

Trivia
