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

Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Ambush	1 Darkness	1	10+	10	Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 more damage.

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

Ambush1 Energy card

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.

Ambush 1 Energy10 damage for 1 Energy — 10 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.

Ambush 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.

How does Murkrow 57 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

Is Murkrow 57 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What does being a Darkness card do for Murkrow 57?

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 1,520 Lightning cards carry that type A Lightning attack printed at 30 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Murkrow 57 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Lightning attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 30 printed damage rather than 60.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,064 cards in the archive that can remove Murkrow 57 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 30. 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.

Murkrowweak to Lightning ×2

Murkrowresists Fighting -30

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

What the Fighting resistance changes

Damage from Fighting 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 Murkrow as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Murkrow 57 is one print of Murkrow. 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.

Murkrow has been printed 28 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.

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

28 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 (80 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.

The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Murkrow 57 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, Ambush, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 10 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

Every card in the archiveNo. 12,840 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 1,023 of 1,248

Phantasmal FlamesNo. 103 of 110

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.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Murkrow 57 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Murkrow 57?

Murkrow 57 has 60 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 30 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 60.

What is the strongest attack on Murkrow 57?

Ambush, printed at 10 damage for 1 Energy — 10 damage per Energy card. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 more damage.

What is the retreat cost of Murkrow 57?

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 Ambush 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 — "Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 more damage."

Can an older Murkrow print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 28 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 Murkrow 57 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark I. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Murkrow 57 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.
