What do the attacks on Spiritomb 87 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

Back to summaryWhat Spiritomb 87 does without attacking
Spiritomb 87 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
Why this sits apart from the attacks
An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.
What does being a Darkness card do for Spiritomb 87?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |

What being a Darkness card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Darkness weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule.
What is Spiritomb as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Spiritomb 87 is one print of Spiritomb. 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.
Every Spiritomb print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryIs this the strongest Spiritomb print, and can the older ones still be played?
25 prints carry this name in the archive. 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.
