What do the attacks on Lampent 102 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haunt | 1 Psychic | 1 | — | — | Put 3 damage counters on your opponent's Active Pokémon. |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
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.
This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage
Haunt 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.
How does Lampent 102 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.

Back to summaryWhat does being a Psychic card do for Lampent 102?
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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic — this card | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Psychic weakness.
What being a Psychic card is worth
Groups that most often print a Psychic weakness: Psychic (2,335 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Psychic cards are themselves most exposed to Darkness.
What knocks out Lampent 102 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Darkness attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 40 printed damage rather than 80.

Lampent 10280 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 739 cards in the archive that can remove Lampent 102 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 40. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.
Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.
What the Fighting resistance changes
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.
| Card | Set | HP | Printed damage | After weakness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (126) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (225) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |

| Drapion VSTAR (200) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
80 HP against a Darkness ×2 weakness means any Darkness attack printed at 40 damage or more is enough. 743 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Lampent as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Lampent 102 is one print of Lampent. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.
Every Lampent print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Lampent 102 can be?
Lampent evolves from Litwick, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Litwick.
- It is not the end of the line either — Chandelure evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
- The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.
Is this the strongest Lampent print, and can the older ones still be played?
16 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.
Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

6 of the 16 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Lampent 102 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
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Litwick has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Darkness attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
- 743 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
