What do the attacks on Whimsicott-GX 140 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 1 Energy and returns 10 damage, which is 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Blow | 1 Fairy | 1 | 10+ | 10 | This attack does 30 more damage times the amount of Energy attached to this Pokémon. |
| Toy Box-GX | 1 Fairy | 1 | — | — | Search your deck for up to 5 cards and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) |
Retreating costs a further 1 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.
- Energy Blow 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 Whimsicott-GX 140 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.
The ceiling of this archive is Mega Emboar ex at 380 HP — every bar here is measured against it.
This card prints 190 HP, which is 50% of that ceiling.

Back to summaryWhat Whimsicott-GX 140 does without attacking
Whimsicott-GX 140 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 Whimsicott-GX 140 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 10 damage attack that needs 1 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 10.
| 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 |
| Whimsicott-GX 140 — this card | 10.0 | 10 damage for 1 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.
| Group | Typical printed damage | Damage per Energy card | Cards in this group |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 10 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
Is Whimsicott-GX 140 strong for a GX card?
GX 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 GX card in the archive — 601 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.
What does being a Fairy card do for Whimsicott-GX 140?
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 | 7.2% | 1,249 cards |
| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy — this card | 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 Fairy weakness.
What being a Fairy card is worth
Groups that most often print a Fairy weakness: Dragon (530 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Fairy cards are themselves most exposed to Metal.
What knocks out Whimsicott-GX 140 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Metal attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 95 printed damage rather than 190.

Whimsicott-GX 140190 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 313 cards in the archive that can remove Whimsicott-GX 140 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 100 printed damage against a bar of 95. 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 Darkness resistance changes
Damage from Darkness 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zacian V-UNION (SWSH163) | SWSH Black Star Promos | 320 | 340 | 680 |
| Zacian V-UNION (SWSH164) | SWSH Black Star Promos | 320 | 340 | 680 |
| Zacian V-UNION (SWSH165) | SWSH Black Star Promos | 320 | 340 | 680 |

| Zacian VSTAR (96) | Crown Zenith | 270 | 310 | 620 |
| Aggron VMAX (97) | Brilliant Stars | 330 | 270 | 540 |
190 HP against a Metal ×2 weakness means any Metal attack printed at 95 damage or more is enough. 314 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat can you use instead of Whimsicott-GX 140?

Which rules apply to Whimsicott-GX 140, 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-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX 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.

Whimsicott-GX 140 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, Energy Blow, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn 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.
- It cannot start the game in play — Cottonee has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Metal attack printed at 95 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 190 HP.
- 314 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Damage from Darkness attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
