Back to summaryWhat Happiny 161 does without attacking
Happiny 161 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.
Playhouse Heal can only be used once a turn
The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.
What does being a Colorless card do for Happiny 161?
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 |
| Fighting | 10.9% | 1,884 cards |
| Lightning | 8.8% | 1,520 cards |

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.
What is Happiny as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Happiny 161 is one print of Happiny. 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 Happiny 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 Happiny 161 can be?
Happiny evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- It is not the end of the line either — Chansey evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
- The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns 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 Happiny print, and can the older ones still be played?
4 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Happiny 052/123 | Burger King Promos | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
| Happiny 014/017 | POP Series 8 | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
| Happiny 76/127 | Platinum | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
| Happiny 161/214 | SM - Unbroken Bonds | No mark printed | Not legal in Standard |
0 of the 4 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 Happiny 161?

3 cards in the archive share this Pokédex number. The badge on each card is its printed HP, the figure under the name is its hardest printed attack, and the name sits under the picture. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.
