What Walrein ex 89 does without attacking

Walrein ex 89 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

None

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

Icy Aura — Poké-Body

As long as Walrein ex is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each Active Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) between turns, excluding Water Pokémon.

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.

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

Icy Aura 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

Is Walrein ex 89 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 80 damage attack that needs 4 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 80 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Walrein ex 89 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.

What does being a Water card do for Walrein ex 89?

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.

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

13 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.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (170 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Which rules apply to Walrein ex 89, 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.

Walrein ex 89 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, Ice Throw, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Sealeo has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

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

Water cardsNo. 406 of 2,435

ex cardsNo. 808 of 942

Legend MakerNo. 2 of 85

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 75 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 150 HP.
1,066 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,395 cards in one attack.

Walrein ex 89 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Walrein ex 89?

Walrein ex 89 has 150 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting 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 Walrein ex 89?

Ice Throw, printed at 80 damage for 4 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card. If the Defending Pokémon is a Fighting Pokémon, this attack's base damage is 120 instead of 80.

What is the retreat cost of Walrein ex 89?

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

Does Walrein ex 89 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 Walrein print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 13 prints listed on this page, 1 is 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 Walrein ex evolve from?

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

Can Walrein ex 89 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 Walrein ex 89 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 Walrein ex 89 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.
