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 can place 5 damage counters on 1 of the opponent's Pokémon, at the cost of it being Knocked Out. 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]
The same ban was announced for the Japanese meta on the official Japanese Pokémon TCG website on August 16, 2024, to take effect starting September 2, 2024;[2] and for the Gym Leader Challenge format to take effect starting September 1, 2024,[3] for the same reason mentioned above.
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.
