What do the attacks on Sealeo 77 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 2 Energy and returns 20 damage, which is 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Find Ice | No Energy | 0 | — | — | Search your deck for up to 2 Water Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. |
| Sheer Cold | 1 Water + 1 Colorless | 2 | 20 | 10 | Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack during your opponent's next turn. |
Retreating costs a further 2 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.

Back to summaryIs Sealeo 77 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 20 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.
| 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 |
| Sealeo 77 — this card | 10.0 | 20 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cheapest attack costs 0 Energy | 45 | — | 304 |

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 20 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Water card do for Sealeo 77?
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 Water weakness.
What being a Water card is worth
Groups that most often print a Water weakness: Fire (1,574 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Water cards are themselves most exposed to Metal.
What knocks out Sealeo 77 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
The weakness printed on the card decides which attacks are enough to remove it in one turn.

Sealeo 7780 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 536 cards in the archive that can remove Sealeo 77 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.

What is Sealeo as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Sealeo 77 is one print of Sealeo. 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 Sealeo 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 summaryWhat has to be in play before Sealeo 77 can be?
Sealeo evolves from Spheal, 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 Spheal.
- It is not the end of the line either — Walrein evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
- The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns 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.
Is this the strongest Sealeo print, and can the older ones still be played?
14 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.

1 of the 14 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.

Which rules apply to Sealeo 77, 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Weakness | Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card. | 16,744 cards | 81.9% |
| Retreat | Retreat your Active Pokemon (only once per turn). | 17,244 cards | 84.3% |
Counted across 20,444 English cards. A clause applies to this card because the card carries the property the clause names, not because we judged it to.

Sealeo 77 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, Sheer Cold, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 10 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 — Spheal has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Metal attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
- 542 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 31 cards in one attack.
