The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 2 Energy and returns 40 damage, which is 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheely Draw | 1 Darkness | 1 | — | — | Shuffle your hand into your deck. Then, draw 6 cards. |
| Hangry Blaster | 2 Darkness | 2 | 40+ | 20 | This attack does 40 more damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon. |
Retreating costs a further 1 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.
Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol
A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.
- Hangry Blaster is printed as 40+, 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 Morpeko ex 55 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.

Back to summaryIs Morpeko ex 55 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 40 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.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 1 typically return 49.0 damage per Energy card. This card returns 20.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |
| 3 Energy | 34.7 | 104 damage typical |
| 4 Energy | 27.8 | 111 damage typical |
| 5 Energy | 41.8 | 209 damage typical |
| Morpeko ex 55 — this card | 20.0 | 40 damage for 2 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

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 40 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
Is Morpeko ex 55 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.
The group is every ex card in the archive — 942 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.
What does being a Darkness card do for Morpeko ex 55?
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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |
| Water | 14.1% | 2,435 cards |
| Colorless | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |
| Fire | 9.1% | 1,574 cards |

| Lightning | 8.8% | 1,520 cards |

| Darkness — this card | 7.2% | 1,249 cards |
| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Darkness weakness.
What being a Darkness card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Darkness weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Darkness cards are themselves most exposed to Grass.
What knocks out Morpeko ex 55 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Grass attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 90 printed damage rather than 180.
90 damage becomes 180 against this card
Morpeko ex 55180 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 396 cards in the archive that can remove Morpeko ex 55 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 90 printed damage against a bar of 90. 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.

180 HP against a Grass ×2 weakness means any Grass attack printed at 90 damage or more is enough. 396 cards in the archive clear that bar.

What is Morpeko as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Morpeko ex 55 is one print of Morpeko. 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 Morpeko 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 Morpeko print, and can the older ones still be played?
39 prints carry this name in the archive, and 33 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.
33 rows are shown of the 39 prints counted under this name.

Back to summaryWhat can you use instead of Morpeko ex 55?
Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

“Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”
Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Which generation of cards does Morpeko ex 55 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.

Morpeko ex 55 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, Hangry Blaster, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 20 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
What actually removes it
- A Grass attack printed at 90 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 180 HP.
- 396 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 353 cards in one attack.
