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.

What Absol ex 92 does without attacking

Absol ex 92 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.

Cursed Eyes — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn, when you put Absol ex from your hand onto your Bench, you may move 3 damage counters from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another of his or her 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.

Cursed Eyes 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.

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

Cursed Eyes 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 Absol ex 92 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 2 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 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Absol ex 92 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 Darkness card do for Absol ex 92?

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 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 50 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,061 cards in the archive that can remove Absol ex 92 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. 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.

Absol exweak to Fighting ×2

Absol exresists Psychic -30

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

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic 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 Absol ex 92, 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.

Absol ex 92 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, Psychic Pulse, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

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

Darkness cardsNo. 580 of 1,248

ex cardsNo. 876 of 942

Power KeepersNo. 15 of 84

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
1,071 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 180 cards in one attack.
Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Absol ex 92 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Absol ex 92?

Absol ex 92 has 100 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 50 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 100.

What is the strongest attack on Absol ex 92?

Psychic Pulse, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

What is the retreat cost of Absol ex 92?

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

How often can you use Cursed Eyes?

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

Does Absol ex 92 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 Absol print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 29 prints listed on this page, 11 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.

Can Absol ex 92 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 Absol ex 92 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 Absol ex 92 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.
