What do the attacks on Crobat 23 cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Strike and Fade2 Psychic2Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 50 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Flip a coin. If tails, shuffle Crobat and all cards attached to it back into your deck.

This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.

Strike and Fade2 Energy cards

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

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

What Crobat 23 does without attacking

Crobat 23 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects
1
Capped at once a turn
1 of 1
Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.
Evolutionary Toxic — Poké-Power · once a turn
Once during your turn, when you play Crobat from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns.
Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

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.

Evolutionary Toxic can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

This effect places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Evolutionary Toxic puts damage counters on a Pokémon rather than dealing damage to it. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the rules keep them apart: effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them.

Back to summary

What does being a Psychic card do for Crobat 23?

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.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 546 cards in the archive that can remove Crobat 23 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 70 printed damage against a bar of 70. 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.

Crobatweak to Psychic +30
Crobatresists Fighting -20

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.

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

Crobat 23 is one print of Crobat. 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.

Crobat has been printed 44 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Crobat 23 can be?

Crobat evolves from Golbat, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

The Crobat line, oldest stage firstPokédex #169

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (130 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

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

44 prints carry this name in the archive, and 33 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.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (310 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Crobat 23 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

  • Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Golbat has to be on the field first.

What actually removes it

  • A Psychic attack printed at 70 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
  • 548 cards in the archive clear that bar.

Crobat 23 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Crobat 23?

Crobat 23 has 100 HP and a Psychic weakness at +30, so a Psychic attack printed at 70 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 100.

What is the retreat cost of Crobat 23?

None. Crobat 23 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

How often can you use Evolutionary Toxic?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Crobat in play carries its own use.

Does Crobat 23 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Crobat print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 33 prints listed on this page, 9 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.

What does Crobat evolve from?

Golbat. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Crobat 23 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 Crobat 23 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.
