Is Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX SM102 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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 250 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX SM102 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.

Hit points190 HPtypical for the group is 214 HP — this card is 11% below

What does being a Metal card do for Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX SM102?

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.

What knocks out Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX SM102 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 443 cards in the archive that can remove Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX SM102 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 100 printed damage against a bar of 95. 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.

Dusk Mane Necrozma-GXweak to Fire ×2
Dusk Mane Necrozma-GXresists Psychic -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic 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.

Back to summary

Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX SM102 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, Sun's Eclipse-GX, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 83 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Metal cardsNo. 154 of 924
GX cardsNo. 382 of 601
SM Black Star PromosNo. 60 of 247

What actually removes it

  • A Fire attack printed at 95 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 190 HP.
  • 446 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 1,002 cards in one attack.
  • Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
