Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Agility	2 Colorless	2	40	20	Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage from and effects of attacks done to this Pokémon.
Enhanced Blade	1 Psychic + 1 Darkness	2	70+	35	If this Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool attached, this attack does 70 more damage.

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.

Agility2 Energy cards

Enhanced Blade2 Energy cards

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.

Agility 2 Energy40 damage for 2 Energy — 20 per Energy card40
Enhanced Blade 2 Energy70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 per Energy card70

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (70).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Enhanced Blade is printed as 70+, 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 Noivern 157 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 Noivern 157 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 70 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.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 70 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Dragon card do for Noivern 157?

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.

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

Noivern 157 is one print of Noivern. 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.

Noivern has been printed 30 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.

Every Noivern 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.

What has to be in play before Noivern 157 can be?

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

The Noivern line, oldest stage first

Noibat9 prints on record · Hidden Fates: Shiny Vault

+50 HP · +70 damage

Noivern8 prints on record · XY - Furious Fists

Noibat → Noivern

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

1NoibatHardest attack printed at this stage: 50 damage70 HP
2NoivernHardest attack printed at this stage: 120 damage. Evolving here adds 50 HP over the stage before it120 HP

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (120 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 Noivern print, and can the older ones still be played?

30 prints carry this name in the archive, and 21 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 (270 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

21 rows are shown of the 30 prints counted under this name.

8 of the 21 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, Enhanced Blade, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 35 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
It cannot start the game in play — Noibat has to be on the field first.

Noivern 157 — frequently asked questions

What is the strongest attack on Noivern 157?

Enhanced Blade, printed at 70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 damage per Energy card. If this Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool attached, this attack does 70 more damage.

What is the retreat cost of Noivern 157?

None. Noivern 157 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

What does the + after the damage on Enhanced Blade 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 — "If this Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool attached, this attack does 70 more damage."

Can an older Noivern print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 21 prints listed on this page, 8 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 Noivern evolve from?

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

Can Noivern 157 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Standard and Unlimited 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 Noivern 157 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.
