What do the attacks on Glaceon LV.X 98 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 70 damage, which is 23 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avalanche | 2 Water + 1 Colorless | 3 | 70 | 23 | Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
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.

Back to summaryWhat Glaceon LV.X 98 does without attacking
Glaceon LV.X 98 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.
Is Glaceon LV.X 98 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 70 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 3 typically return 34.7 damage per Energy card. This card returns 23.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |
| 3 Energy | 34.7 | 104 damage typical |

| 5 Energy | 41.8 | 209 damage typical |
| Glaceon LV.X 98 — this card | 23.0 | 70 damage for 3 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cheapest attack costs 0 Energy | 45 | — | 304 |

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 70 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Water card do for Glaceon LV.X 98?
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.

| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |

Glaceon LV.X 98 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, Avalanche, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 23 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Glaceon has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Metal attack printed at 70 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
- 467 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 1,338 cards in one attack.
