Is Typhlosion ex 99 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.

Is Typhlosion ex 99 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 Fire card do for Typhlosion ex 99?

Of the 1,285 cards in the archive that can remove Typhlosion ex 99 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 80 printed damage against a bar of 80. 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 Typhlosion as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Typhlosion ex 99 is one print of Typhlosion. 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.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (160 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

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

31 prints carry this name in the archive, and 24 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.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (260 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

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.

Typhlosion ex 99 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, Split Blast, 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 — Quilava has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 2,895 of 17,290

Fire cardsNo. 297 of 1,574

ex cardsNo. 790 of 942

SandstormNo. 2 of 95

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 80 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 160 HP.
1,290 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 2,745 cards in one attack.

Typhlosion ex 99 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Typhlosion ex 99?

Typhlosion ex 99 has 160 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 80 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 160.

What is the strongest attack on Typhlosion ex 99?

Split Blast, printed at 100 damage for 5 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card. Discard 1 Energy card attached to Typhlosion ex. If your opponent has more than 1 Defending Pokémon, you may do 50 damage to each of them instead.

What is the retreat cost of Typhlosion ex 99?

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

Can an older Typhlosion print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 24 prints listed on this page, 8 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 Typhlosion ex evolve from?

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

Can Typhlosion ex 99 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 Typhlosion ex 99 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 Typhlosion ex 99 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.
