What Torkoal 25 does without attacking

Torkoal 25 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.

Hot Snort — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn, when you put Torkoal from your hand onto your Bench, you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned.

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.

Hot Snort 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.

Is Torkoal 25 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.

Torkoal 25 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, Flare, 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 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
1,277 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 776 cards in one attack.

Torkoal 25 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Torkoal 25?

Torkoal 25 has 80 HP and a Water weakness at ×2, so a Water attack printed at 40 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 80.

What is the strongest attack on Torkoal 25?

Flare, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Torkoal 25?

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

How often can you use Hot Snort?

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

Can an older Torkoal print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 23 prints listed on this page, 6 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 Torkoal 25 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.

Does this page say how good Torkoal 25 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.
