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

Is Charizard & Braixen-GX SM230 strong for a TAG TEAM card?

TAG TEAM 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.

What does being a Fire card do for Charizard & Braixen-GX SM230?

“TAG TEAM rule: When your TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Charizard & Braixen-GX SM230 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, Brilliant Flare, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 45 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 135 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 270 HP.
200 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 3,073 cards in one attack.
