Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Reactive Blast	1 Lightning + 1 Colorless	2	40+	20	You may discard any number of React Energy cards attached to Flygon ex. If you do, this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage for each Energy card you discarded.
Dragon Claw	1 Grass + 1 Lightning + 3 Colorless	5	100	20	No extra effect.

Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Reactive Blast2 Energy cards

Dragon Claw5 Energy cards

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.

Reactive Blast 2 Energy40 damage for 2 Energy — 20 per Energy card40
Dragon Claw 5 Energy100 damage for 5 Energy — 20 per Energy card100

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (100).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Reactive Blast is printed as 40+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

What Flygon ex 87 does without attacking

Flygon ex 87 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Emerge Charge — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn, when you play Flygon ex from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may search your discard pile for up to 2 Energy cards and attach them to Flygon ex.

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.

Emerge Charge 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.

Back to summary

Is Flygon ex 87 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 100 damage attack that needs 5 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 100 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Flygon ex 87 strong for a ex card?

ex cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

The group is every ex card in the archive — 942 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.

Back to summary

What does being a Colorless card do for Flygon ex 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.

Deals double to this card 2,173 Colorless cards carry that type A Colorless attack printed at 75 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Flygon ex 87 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Colorless attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 75 printed damage rather than 150.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 513 cards in the archive that can remove Flygon ex 87 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 80 printed damage against a bar of 75. 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.

Flygon exweak to Colorless ×2

Flygon exresists Lightning -30

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

What the Lightning resistance changes

Damage from Lightning 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.

Which rules apply to Flygon ex 87, 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.

The rule printed on this card

“When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Flygon ex 87 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 Claw, needs 5 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 5 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Vibrava has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 3,166 of 17,290

Colorless cardsNo. 278 of 2,171

ex cardsNo. 808 of 942

Legend MakerNo. 2 of 85

What actually removes it

A Colorless attack printed at 75 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 150 HP.
518 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 109 cards in one attack.
Damage from Lightning attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Flygon ex 87 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Flygon ex 87?

Flygon ex 87 has 150 HP and a Colorless weakness at ×2, so a Colorless attack printed at 75 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 150.

What is the strongest attack on Flygon ex 87?

Dragon Claw, printed at 100 damage for 5 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Flygon ex 87?

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

What does the + after the damage on Reactive Blast mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "You may discard any number of React Energy cards attached to Flygon ex. If you do, this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage for each Energy card you discarded."

How often can you use Emerge Charge?

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

Can an older Flygon print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 24 prints listed on this page, 7 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 Flygon ex evolve from?

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

Can Flygon ex 87 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.

What does the rule on Flygon ex 87 mean?

The card reads “When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Flygon ex 87 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.
