The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 120 damage, which is 40 damage for every Energy card attached.

Garchomp 5 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Guard Claw	2 Colorless	2	40	20	During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Garchomp by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Speed Impact	3 Colorless	3	120−	40	Does 120 damage minus 20 damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.

This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.

Guard Claw2 Energy cards

Speed Impact3 Energy cards

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.

Guard Claw 2 Energy40 damage for 2 Energy — 20 per Energy card40
Speed Impact 3 Energy120 damage for 3 Energy — 40 per Energy card120

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (120).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Speed Impact is printed as 120−, so the printed number is a ceiling — the attack starts there and the sentence beside it takes damage away.

How does Garchomp 5 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.

What Garchomp 5 does without attacking

Garchomp 5 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Dragon Intimidation — Poké-Body

If Garchomp is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Garchomp is Knocked Out), choose an Energy card attached to the Attacking Pokémon and put it into your opponent's hand.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Is Garchomp 5 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 120 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

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

What is Garchomp as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Garchomp 5 is one print of Garchomp. 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.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (160 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

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 Garchomp print, and can the older ones still be played?

41 prints carry this name in the archive, and 35 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 (330 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Garchomp C LV.X 145/147	Celebrations: Classic Collection	No mark printed	Not legal in Standard
Garchomp C 060/147	League & Championship Cards	No mark printed	Not legal in Standard

13 of the 35 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 Garchomp 5, 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.

Garchomp 5 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, Speed Impact, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 40 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
It cannot start the game in play — Gabite has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,029 of 17,290

Colorless cardsNo. 377 of 2,171

Stage 2 cardsNo. 1,100 of 1,749

Supreme VictorsNo. 4 of 146

What actually removes it

A Colorless attack printed at 100 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 130 HP.
376 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 113 cards in one attack.

Garchomp 5 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Garchomp 5?

Garchomp 5 has 130 HP and a Colorless weakness at +30, so a Colorless attack printed at 100 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 130.

What is the strongest attack on Garchomp 5?

Speed Impact, printed at 120 damage for 3 Energy — 40 damage per Energy card. Does 120 damage minus 20 damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Garchomp 5?

None. Garchomp 5 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

What does the − after the damage on Speed Impact mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the most it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is taken away. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Does 120 damage minus 20 damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon."

Can an older Garchomp print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 35 prints listed on this page, 13 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.

What does Garchomp evolve from?

Gabite. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Garchomp 5 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.

Does this page say how good Garchomp 5 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.
