The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 2 Energy and returns 20 damage, which is 10 damage for every Energy card attached.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scratch | No Energy | 0 | 10 | — | No extra effect. |

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 Sableye G 41 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 |
| Sableye G 41 — 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.

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.
Is Sableye G 41 strong for a SP card?
SP 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 SP card in the archive — 105 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 Sableye G 41?
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 |
| Fighting | 10.9% | 1,884 cards |
| Lightning | 8.8% | 1,520 cards |
| Grass | 13.8% | 2,387 cards |
| Metal | 5.4% | 925 cards |
| Darkness — this card | 7.2% | 1,249 cards |
| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
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.

Sableye G 41 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, Astonish, 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 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- Going the other way, it removes 35 cards in one attack.
- Damage from Colorless attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
