What does Groudon 81 do in a game?

Groudon 81 is a Fighting Pokémon card with 130 HP, printed as Basic.

Its strongest attack, Ground Slash, is printed at 130 damage for 4 Energy — 33 damage per Energy card.

Because of the Grass weakness, any Grass attack printed at 65 damage or more removes it in a single turn.

What do the attacks on Groudon 81 cost, and what do they hit for?

The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 4 Energy and returns 130 damage, which is 33 damage for every Energy card attached.

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.

  • Wreck 3 Energy50 damage for 3 Energy — 17 per Energy card50
  • Ground Slash 4 Energy130 damage for 4 Energy — 33 per Energy card130

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (130).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

  • Wreck is printed as 50+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Groudon 81 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What does being a Fighting card do for Groudon 81?

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.

Groudon 81 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, Ground Slash, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 33 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 4 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

What actually removes it

  • A Grass attack printed at 65 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 130 HP.
  • 534 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 3,324 cards in one attack.

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

What does the + after the damage on Wreck mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 50 more damage. Then, discard that Stadium card."

Can an older Groudon print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 32 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 Groudon 81 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 Groudon 81 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.
