|---|---|---|---|---|---|

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Back to summaryWhat does being a Colorless card do for Dark Ursaring 21?
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 |

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Colorless weakness.
What being a Colorless card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Colorless weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Colorless cards are themselves most exposed to Fighting.
What knocks out Dark Ursaring 21 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 30 printed damage rather than 60.

Dark Ursaring 2160 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 1,430 cards in the archive that can remove Dark Ursaring 21 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 Psychic resistance changes
Damage from Psychic 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 Lucario ex (77) | Mega Evolution | 340 | 270 | 540 |
| Mega Lucario ex (160) | Mega Evolution | 340 | 270 | 540 |

| Mega Lucario ex (188) | Mega Evolution | 340 | 270 | 540 |
| Mega Lucario ex (113) | Ascended Heroes | 340 | 270 | 540 |
| Toxtricity ex (100) | Paradox Rift | 260 | 270 | 540 |
60 HP against a Fighting ×2 weakness means any Fighting attack printed at 30 damage or more is enough. 1,446 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Dark Ursaring 21 can be?
Dark Ursaring evolves from Teddiursa, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Teddiursa.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
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.
What can you use instead of Dark Ursaring 21?
Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.
| Card | Set | HP | Top damage | Retreat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erika's Dragonair | Gym Heroes | 80 | 30 | 2 |
| Altaria ex | Emerald | 100 | 70 | 1 |
| Light Togetic | Neo Destiny | 60 | 30 | 0 |
| Togetic | Aquapolis | 60 | 0 | 1 |
| Dragonair | Base | 80 | 30 | 2 |
| Togetic | Neo Genesis | 60 | 30 | 0 |
This card itself is 60 HP, 0 top damage and 2 retreat, and every card here is Colorless like it.

| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |

Dark Ursaring 21 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
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Teddiursa has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Fighting attack printed at 30 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 60 HP.
- 1,446 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
