What do the attacks on Mr. Mime-GX 173 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breakdown | 1 Psychic + 1 Colorless | 2 | — | — | For each card in your opponent's hand, put 1 damage counter on their Active Pokémon. |
| Life Trick-GX | 1 Colorless | 1 | — | — | Heal all damage from this Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) |
Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
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.
This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage
Breakdown puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

Back to summaryWhat Mr. Mime-GX 173 does without attacking
Mr. Mime-GX 173 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.
Is Mr. Mime-GX 173 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 Psychic card do for Mr. Mime-GX 173?
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.
