What do the attacks on Rayquaza C 8 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 4 Energy and returns 50 damage, which is 13 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trash Burst | 1 Colorless | 1 | 10+ | 10 | You may discard up to 5 Energy cards from your hand. If you do, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy card you discarded. |
| Twister | 4 Colorless | 4 | 50 | 13 | Flip 2 coins. If both are tails, this attack does nothing. For each heads, discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. |
Retreating costs a further 3 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.
Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol
A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.
- Trash Burst is printed as 10+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.
How does Rayquaza C 8 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.

Open the group this card falls into
Back to summaryIs Rayquaza C 8 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 50 damage attack that needs 4 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.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 1 typically return 49.0 damage per Energy card. This card returns 13.
| 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 |
| Rayquaza C 8 — this card | 13.0 | 50 damage for 4 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 50 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
Is Rayquaza C 8 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 Colorless card do for Rayquaza C 8?
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 — this card | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |
| Fire | 9.1% | 1,574 cards |

| Lightning | 8.8% | 1,520 cards |

| Metal | 5.4% | 925 cards |
| Darkness | 7.2% | 1,249 cards |
| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 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 Colorless.
What knocks out Rayquaza C 8 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Colorless attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 50 printed damage rather than 100.
50 damage becomes 100 against this card
Rayquaza C 8100 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 851 cards in the archive that can remove Rayquaza C 8 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. 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 Fighting resistance changes
Damage from Fighting 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slaking ex (147) | Surging Sparks | 340 | 280 | 560 |
| Slaking ex (227) | Surging Sparks | 340 | 280 | 560 |

| Slaking (162) | Paldea Evolved | 180 | 240 | 480 |
100 HP against a Colorless ×2 weakness means any Colorless attack printed at 50 damage or more is enough. 860 cards in the archive clear that bar.

What is Rayquaza C as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Rayquaza C 8 is one print of Rayquaza C. 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 Rayquaza C 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 summaryIs this the strongest Rayquaza C print, and can the older ones still be played?
3 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.
| Set | Regulation mark | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rayquaza C LV.X DP47 | Diamond and Pearl Promos | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
| Rayquaza C LV.X 146 | Supreme Victors | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
| Rayquaza C 008/147 | Miscellaneous Cards & Products | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
0 of the 3 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.
Back to summaryWhich other cards share the Pokémon behind Rayquaza C 8?
Every card below carries the same Pokédex number as this one, so they are the same Pokémon printed as different cards — different stages, different mechanics and different names all sit in this group.
What was printed next to Rayquaza C 8 in Supreme Victors?
A card is met inside a set, not on its own, and the number on it is the order that set gave it. The cards either side are the ones a collector actually turns past to reach this one.

Which rules apply to Rayquaza C 8, 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.

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

Rayquaza C 8 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, Twister, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 13 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
What actually removes it
- A Colorless attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
- 860 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 71 cards in one attack.
- Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
