Is Groudon ex 2 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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 80 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Groudon ex 2 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 Fighting card do for Groudon ex 2?

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.

Of the 681 cards in the archive that can remove Groudon ex 2 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60. 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.

Is this the strongest Groudon print, and can the older ones still be played?

36 prints carry this name in the archive, and 32 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 (240 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

What can you use instead of Groudon ex 2?

Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

Which rules apply to Groudon ex 2, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

The rule printed on this card

“When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Groudon ex 2 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, Major Earthquake, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,897 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 564 of 1,884

EX cardsNo. 407 of 438

Nintendo Black Star PromosNo. 1 of 36

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
681 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 2,889 cards in one attack.

Groudon ex 2 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Groudon ex 2?

Groudon ex 2 has 120 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 60 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Groudon ex 2?

Major Earthquake, printed at 80 damage for 4 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card. Discard a Fighting Energy card attached to Groudon ex. Does 10 damage to your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

What is the retreat cost of Groudon ex 2?

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

Can an older Groudon print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 32 prints listed on this page, 3 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.

Can Groudon ex 2 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

What does the rule on Groudon ex 2 mean?

The card reads “When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Groudon ex 2 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.
