Is Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX 156 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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 150 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX 156 strong for a TAG TEAM card?

TAG TEAM 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.

What does being a Dragon card do for Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX 156?

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.

What knocks out Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX 156 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

The rule printed on this card

“TAG TEAM rule: When your TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 3 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX 156 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, Ultimate Ray, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 50 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

What actually removes it

A Fairy attack printed at 140 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 280 HP.
10 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 87 cards in one attack.
