What do the attacks on Kirlia SV35 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 2 Energy and returns 30 damage, which is 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smack | 1 Colorless | 1 | 20 | 20 | No extra effect. |
| Magical Shot | 1 Fairy + 1 Colorless | 2 | 30 | 15 | No extra effect. |
Retreating costs a further 1 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.

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 summaryIs Kirlia SV35 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.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 1 typically return 49.0 damage per Energy card. This card returns 15.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |

| Kirlia SV35 — this card | 15.0 | 30 damage for 2 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

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 Fairy card do for Kirlia SV35?
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 | 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 Fairy weakness.
What being a Fairy card is worth
Groups that most often print a Fairy weakness: Dragon (530 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Fairy cards are themselves most exposed to Metal.
What knocks out Kirlia SV35 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Metal attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 40 printed damage rather than 80.
40 damage becomes 80 against this card
Kirlia SV3580 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 667 cards in the archive that can remove Kirlia SV35 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 Darkness resistance changes
Damage from Darkness 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.

80 HP against a Metal ×2 weakness means any Metal attack printed at 40 damage or more is enough. 675 cards in the archive clear that bar.

What is Kirlia as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Kirlia SV35 is one print of Kirlia. 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 Kirlia 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 Kirlia SV35 can be?
Kirlia evolves from Ralts, 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 Ralts.
- It is not the end of the line either — Gardevoir and Gallade evolve from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
- Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 281.
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 Kirlia print, and can the older ones still be played?
35 prints carry this name in the archive, and 31 of them are laid out below. 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.
31 rows are shown of the 35 prints counted under this name.

9 of the 31 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.

Kirlia SV35 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, Magical Shot, 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.
- It cannot start the game in play — Ralts has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Metal attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
- 675 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 31 cards in one attack.
- Damage from Darkness attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
