What do the attacks on Druddigon 17 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 80 damage, which is 27 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tight Jaw | 2 Colorless | 2 | 20 | 10 | Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. |
| Dragon Tail | 1 Fire + 1 Water + 1 Colorless | 3 | 80× | 27 | Flip 2 coins. This attack does 80 damage times the number of heads. |
Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
What each 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.
Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol
A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.
- Dragon Tail is printed as 80×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.
How does Druddigon 17 compare with every other card?
Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

This card prints 110 HP, which is 29% of that ceiling.
Every figure in this panel is counted the same way: from the card files this site reads, read July 28, 2026, over the 17,290 cards that print an HP figure. Each bar is measured against the tallest HP in the archive, 380 HP.

Back to summaryIs Druddigon 17 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 80 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 2 typically return 32.5 damage per Energy card. This card returns 27.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |
| 3 Energy | 34.7 | 104 damage typical |
| 4 Energy | 27.8 | 111 damage typical |
| 5 Energy | 41.8 | 209 damage typical |
| Druddigon 17 — this card | 27.0 | 80 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.

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 80 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Dragon card do for Druddigon 17?
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 |

| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Dragon weakness.
What being a Dragon card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Dragon weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Dragon cards are themselves most exposed to Dragon.
What knocks out Druddigon 17 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Dragon attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 55 printed damage rather than 110.

Druddigon 17110 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 367 cards in the archive that can remove Druddigon 17 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 55. 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.

What is Druddigon as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Druddigon 17 is one print of Druddigon. 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 Druddigon 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 Druddigon print, and can the older ones still be played?
15 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.

3 of the 15 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Which rules apply to Druddigon 17, and where can it be played?
Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.
| Clause | What the rulebook says | Cards it applies to | Share of the archive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weakness | Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card. | 16,744 cards | 81.9% |

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

Druddigon 17 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, Dragon Tail, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 27 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Dragon attack printed at 55 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 110 HP.
- 368 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 66 cards in one attack.
