What do the attacks on Wobbuffet 49 cost, and what do they hit for?

The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 50 damage, which is 17 damage for every Energy card attached.

Wobbuffet 49 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Shadowy Knot	3 Psychic	3	50×	17	This attack does 50 damage for each Colorless in your opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost.

Retreating costs a further 3 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Shadowy Knot3 Energy cards

The Energy this 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.

Shadowy Knot 3 Energy50 damage for 3 Energy — 17 per Energy card50

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (50).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Shadowy Knot is printed as 50×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Is Wobbuffet 49 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Wobbuffet 49 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, Shadowy Knot, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 17 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

A Psychic attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
