What Groudon ex 93 does without attacking

Groudon ex 93 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.

Hard Rock — Poké-Body

As long as Groudon ex has 1 Energy or less attached to it, damage done to any of your Groudon ex in play by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). You can't use more than 1 Hard Rock Poké-Body each turn.

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.

Back to summary

Is Groudon ex 93 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 100 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.

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 Groudon ex 93 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 Fighting card do for Groudon ex 93?

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.

Of the 875 cards in the archive that can remove Groudon ex 93 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50.

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

36 prints carry this name in the archive, and 32 of them are laid out below. 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.

The rule printed on this card

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.

Groudon ex 93 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, Power Blast, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 33 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

Every card in the archiveNo. 6,636 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 786 of 1,884

ex cardsNo. 876 of 942

Crystal GuardiansNo. 12 of 82

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
880 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 3,088 cards in one attack.
