What do the attacks on Bouffalant ex 170 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 100 damage, which is 33 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Breaker | 3 Colorless | 3 | 100+ | 33 | If your opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon ex, this attack does 100 more damage. |
Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
The Energy this 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.
- Gold Breaker is printed as 100+, 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 Bouffalant ex 170 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.

This card prints 220 HP, which is 58% of that ceiling.
Every figure in this panel is counted the same way: from the card files this site reads, read July 28, 2026, over the 17,290 cards that print an HP figure. Each bar is measured against the tallest HP in the archive, 380 HP.

Back to summaryWhat Bouffalant ex 170 does without attacking
Bouffalant ex 170 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
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 Bouffalant ex 170 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 100 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.
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 3 typically return 34.7 damage per Energy card. This card returns 33.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |
| 3 Energy | 34.7 | 104 damage typical |

| 5 Energy | 41.8 | 209 damage typical |
| Bouffalant ex 170 — this card | 33.0 | 100 damage for 3 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 100 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
Is Bouffalant ex 170 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.
The group is every ex card in the archive — 942 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 Bouffalant ex 170?
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 |

| 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 Fighting.
What knocks out Bouffalant ex 170 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 110 printed damage rather than 220.

Bouffalant ex 170220 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 406 cards in the archive that can remove Bouffalant ex 170 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 110 printed damage against a bar of 110. 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.

220 HP against a Fighting ×2 weakness means any Fighting attack printed at 110 damage or more is enough. 407 cards in the archive clear that bar.

What is Bouffalant as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Bouffalant ex 170 is one print of Bouffalant. 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 Bouffalant 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 Bouffalant ex 170 can be?
Bouffalant ex evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn 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 Bouffalant print, and can the older ones still be played?
16 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.

Back to summaryWhat can you use instead of Bouffalant ex 170?
Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

This card itself is 220 HP, 100 top damage and 2 retreat, and every card here is Colorless like it.

Which rules apply to Bouffalant ex 170, 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
“Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is 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.
| Clause | What the rulebook says | Cards it applies to | Share of the archive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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% |
| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |
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.

Where this card can be played
This card is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play. It carries regulation mark I, printed next to the card number. It was released on July 18, 2025.
Which generation of cards does Bouffalant ex 170 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.
The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Bouffalant ex 170 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, Gold Breaker, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 33 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Fighting attack printed at 110 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 220 HP.
- 407 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 109 cards in one attack.
