Trivia

On August 15, 2024, the official English Pokémon website announced that this card is to be banned from the Expanded format starting September 27, 2024. The reason for the ban is Duskull's Spiritborne Evolution Ability lets it evolve as early as the first turn into Dusclops from Shrouded Fable, which has the Cursed Blast Ability that lets it Knock Out itself and place 5 damage counters on 1 of the opponent's Pokémon. The strategy, known as Dusclops Donk, allows for the first player to take early Knock Outs on the opponent's Pokémon, and potentially win on their first turn even before the second player takes their turn, if the second player only has their Active Pokémon in play and no Benched Pokémon for backup.[1] No bans for this card have been announced for the Japanese meta.

Origin

Ominous Eyes is an attack that first appeared as Evil Eye on Murkrow from Skyridge. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon X.
