Is Sableye 61 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 2 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Psychic card do for Sableye 61?

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.

What is Sableye as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Sableye 61 is one print of Sableye. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Is this the strongest Sableye print, and can the older ones still be played?

33 prints carry this name in the archive, and 30 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Sableye 61 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, Tight Jaw, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Does this page say how good Sableye 61 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.
