What do the attacks on Drapion 4 cost, and what do they hit for?

The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 4 Energy and returns 80 damage, which is 20 damage for every Energy card attached.

Drapion 4 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Toxic Fang	1 Darkness + 2 Colorless	3	40	13	Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns.
Land Crush	2 Darkness + 2 Colorless	4	80	20	No extra effect.

Retreating costs a further 3 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

What each 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.

Toxic Fang 3 Energy40 damage for 3 Energy — 13 per Energy card40
Land Crush 4 Energy80 damage for 4 Energy — 20 per Energy card80

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (80).

This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Toxic Fang puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

Is Drapion 4 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 80 damage attack that needs 4 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Darkness card do for Drapion 4?

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.

Deals double to this card 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 50 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Drapion 4 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 50 printed damage rather than 100.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,061 cards in the archive that can remove Drapion 4 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. 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.

Drapionweak to Fighting ×2

Drapionresists Psychic -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

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

Drapion 4 is one print of Drapion. 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.

Drapion has been printed 19 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 Drapion 4 can be?

Drapion evolves from Skorupi, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

The Drapion line, oldest stage first

Skorupi10 prints on record · Stormfront

+60 HP · +80 damage

Drapion8 prints on record · Triumphant

Skorupi → Drapion

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Skorupi.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (140 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.

Back to summary

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

19 prints carry this name in the archive. 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 (270 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Drapion 4 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, Land Crush, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Skorupi has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 6,636 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 580 of 1,248

Stage 1 cardsNo. 1,866 of 5,102

HS—TriumphantNo. 19 of 96

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
1,071 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 753 cards in one attack.
Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Drapion 4 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Drapion 4?

Drapion 4 has 100 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting 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 Drapion 4?

Land Crush, printed at 80 damage for 4 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Drapion 4?

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

Does Drapion 4 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Drapion print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 19 prints listed on this page, 5 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 Drapion evolve from?

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

Can Drapion 4 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 Drapion 4 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.
