If this added Charm were combined with "Confusion" and "Vampire Dance," it would surely produce a special effect where one plus one was greater than two.
Dark continued, full of pleasant surprise, to inspect Bastemon's next Ultimate Move.

But even without being able to make use of that function, the life-stealing effect it granted was extremely useful.
