Is Squirtle 63 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What does being a Water card do for Squirtle 63?

What knocks out Squirtle 63 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Of the 1,068 cards in the archive that can remove Squirtle 63 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 30.

What is Squirtle as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Squirtle 63 is one print of Squirtle. 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.

Squirtle has been printed 39 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Squirtle 63 can be?

Squirtle evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Squirtle → Wartortle → Blastoise

It is not the end of the line either — Wartortle evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 007.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (170 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 Squirtle print, and can the older ones still be played?

39 prints carry this name in the archive, and 26 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 (70 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

5 of the 26 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.

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, Shell Attack, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 13 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Water cardsNo. 1,809 of 2,435

HS—UnleashedNo. 55 of 82

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 30 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 60 HP.
1,074 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 724 cards in one attack.

Does this page say how good Squirtle 63 is in a deck?
