Leek Slap	1 Colorless	1	30	30	Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Farfetch'd stays in play (even putting Farfetch'd on the Bench won't let you use it again).

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Is Farfetch'd 40 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What does being a Colorless card do for Farfetch'd 40?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 1,520 Lightning cards carry that type A Lightning attack printed at 25 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Farfetch'd 40 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Lightning attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 25 printed damage rather than 50.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,064 cards in the archive that can remove Farfetch'd 40 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 25. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Farfetch'dweak to Lightning ×2

Farfetch'dresists Fighting -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Fighting resistance changes

Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

Farfetch'd 40 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Leek Slap, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Colorless cardsNo. 1,787 of 2,171

Base Set 2No. 65 of 100

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 25 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 50 HP.
1,074 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 11 cards in one attack.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Farfetch'd 40 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Farfetch'd 40?

Farfetch'd 40 has 50 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 25 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 50.

What is the strongest attack on Farfetch'd 40?

Leek Slap, printed at 30 damage for 1 Energy — 30 damage per Energy card. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Farfetch'd stays in play (even putting Farfetch'd on the Bench won't let you use it again).

What is the retreat cost of Farfetch'd 40?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Farfetch'd print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 20 prints listed on this page, 3 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Farfetch'd 40 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Farfetch'd 40 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
