The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 0 Energy and returns 30 damage, which is 0 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mischievous Punch | No Energy | 0 | 30 | — | This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. Tyrogue is now Asleep. |
This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.
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.

Back to summaryWhat Tyrogue 33 does without attacking
Tyrogue 33 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
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.
What does being a Fighting card do for Tyrogue 33?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.

What is Tyrogue as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Tyrogue 33 is one print of Tyrogue. 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.
Every Tyrogue print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryIs this the strongest Tyrogue print, and can the older ones still be played?
9 prints carry this name in the archive, and 8 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.
| Set | Regulation mark | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyrogue 126/146 | Legends Awakened | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
| Tyrogue 100/214 | SM - Unbroken Bonds | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |

| Tyrogue 071/132 | ME01: Mega Evolution | Mark I | Legal in Standard |
| Tyrogue 33 | HeartGold & SoulSilver | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
1 of the 8 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.
