Is Rotom 13 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.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 739 cards in the archive that can remove Rotom 13 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 40. 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.

Rotomweak to Darkness +20

Rotomresists Colorless -20

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

What the Colorless resistance changes

Damage from Colorless 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.

Rotom 13 is one print of Rotom. 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.

Rotom 13 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, Reflect Energy, 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.

What actually removes it

A Darkness attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 60 HP.
743 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 626 cards in one attack.
Damage from Colorless attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Rotom 13 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Rotom 13?

Rotom 13 has 60 HP and a Darkness weakness at +20, so a Darkness attack printed at 40 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 60.

What is the strongest attack on Rotom 13?

Reflect Energy, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card. Move an Energy card attached to Rotom to 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Rotom 13?

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

Can an older Rotom print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 50 prints listed on this page, 25 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 Rotom 13 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 Rotom 13 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.
