What do the attacks on Naganadel-GX 249 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Venom Shot | 1 Psychic + 3 Colorless | 4 | — | — | Discard 2 Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 170 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) |

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.

Back to summaryWhat Naganadel-GX 249 does without attacking
Naganadel-GX 249 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.
Ultra Conversion 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.
Is Naganadel-GX 249 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 Dragon card do for Naganadel-GX 249?
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 |

| Lightning | 8.8% | 1,520 cards |
| Grass | 13.8% | 2,387 cards |
| Metal | 5.4% | 925 cards |
| Darkness | 7.2% | 1,249 cards |
| Dragon — this card | 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 Dragon weakness.
What being a Dragon card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Dragon weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Dragon cards are themselves most exposed to Fairy.
What knocks out Naganadel-GX 249 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Fairy attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 105 printed damage rather than 210.

Naganadel-GX 249210 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 31 cards in the archive that can remove Naganadel-GX 249 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 110 printed damage against a bar of 105. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits.

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
