The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 2 Energy and returns 10 damage, which is 5 damage for every Energy card attached.

Deoxys ex 97 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Energy Burst	1 Psychic + 1 Colorless	2	10+	5	Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Deoxys ex and the Defending Pokémon.

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Energy Burst2 Energy cards

The Energy this 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.

Energy Burst 2 Energy10 damage for 2 Energy — 5 per Energy card10

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (10).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Energy Burst is printed as 10+, 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 Deoxys ex 97 does without attacking

Deoxys ex 97 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.

Form Change — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Deoxys ex and switch it with Deoxys ex. (Any cards attached to Deoxys ex, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Deoxys ex on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Form Change Poké-Power 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.

Form Change 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 Deoxys ex 97 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 10 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 10 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Deoxys ex 97 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 Psychic card do for Deoxys ex 97?

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 857 cards in the archive that can remove Deoxys ex 97 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50.

Which rules apply to Deoxys ex 97, 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.

Deoxys ex 97 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, Energy Burst, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 5 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

DeoxysNo. 7 of 96

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
862 cards in the archive clear that bar.

Deoxys ex 97 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Deoxys ex 97?

Deoxys ex 97 has 100 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic 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 Deoxys ex 97?

Energy Burst, printed at 10 damage for 2 Energy — 5 damage per Energy card. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Deoxys ex and the Defending Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Deoxys ex 97?

1 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 Energy Burst 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 — "Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Deoxys ex and the Defending Pokémon."

How often can you use Form Change?

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

Can an older Deoxys print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 39 prints listed on this page, 9 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 Deoxys ex 97 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 Deoxys ex 97 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 Deoxys ex 97 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.
