What Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 does without attacking

Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Punk Up — Ability

When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may search your deck for up to 5 Basic Darkness Energy cards and attach them to your Marnie's Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Back to summary

Is Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 180 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 180 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 strong for a ex card?

ex cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Darkness card do for Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287?

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.

Is this the strongest Marnie's Grimmsnarl print, and can the older ones still be played?

2 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.

Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 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, Shadow Bullet, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 90 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Marnie's Morgrem has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 207 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 38 of 1,248

ex cardsNo. 145 of 942

Ascended HeroesNo. 26 of 243

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 160 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 320 HP.
90 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 945 cards in one attack.

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

Can an older Marnie's Grimmsnarl print be played in a tournament?

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

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.

What does the rule on Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 mean?

Does this page say how good Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex 287 is in a deck?
