Is Castform 105 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 2 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

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

What does being a Colorless card do for Castform 105?

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 Castform 105 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Castform 105 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, Water Pulse, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

What actually removes it

  • A Fighting attack printed at 35 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
  • 1,221 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 11 cards in one attack.

Castform 105 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Castform 105?

Castform 105 has 70 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 35 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the strongest attack on Castform 105?

Water Pulse, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep.

What is the retreat cost of Castform 105?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Castform print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 21 prints listed on this page, 3 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Castform 105 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Castform 105 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
