What do the attacks on Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gemstone Mimicry | 1 Psychic + 1 Colorless | 2 | — | — | Choose 1 of your opponent's Active Tera Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack. |
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.
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.

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.

Back to summaryWhat does being a Psychic card do for Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Psychic weakness.
What being a Psychic card is worth
Groups that most often print a Psychic weakness: Psychic (2,335 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Psychic cards are themselves most exposed to Darkness.
What knocks out Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Darkness attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 30 printed damage rather than 60.

Team Rocket's Mimikyu 23860 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 883 cards in the archive that can remove Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238 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.
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.
| Card | Set | HP | Printed damage | After weakness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (126) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (225) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |

| Drapion VSTAR (119) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
| Drapion VSTAR (200) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
60 HP against a Darkness ×2 weakness means any Darkness attack printed at 30 damage or more is enough. 888 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Team Rocket's Mimikyu as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238 is one print of Team Rocket's Mimikyu. 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.
Every Team Rocket's Mimikyu 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.
Back to summaryIs this the strongest Team Rocket's Mimikyu print, and can the older ones still be played?
3 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.
| Set | Regulation mark | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team Rocket's Mimikyu 087/182 | Miscellaneous Cards & Products | Mark I | Legal in Standard |
| Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238/217 | ME: Ascended Heroes | Mark I | Legal in Standard |
| Team Rocket's Mimikyu 097/217 | ME: Ascended Heroes | Mark I | Legal in Standard |
3 of the 3 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.
Back to summaryWhich other cards share the Pokémon behind Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238?
Every card below carries the same Pokédex number as this one, so they are the same Pokémon printed as different cards — different stages, different mechanics and different names all sit in this group.

Where this card can be played
This card is legal in Standard and Unlimited and Expanded play. It carries regulation mark I, printed next to the card number. It was released on January 30, 2026.
Which generation of cards does Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
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.

Team Rocket's Mimikyu 238 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.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Darkness attack printed at 30 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 60 HP.
- 888 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.
