What does Charizard-GX SM60 do in a game?

Charizard-GX SM60 is a Fire Pokémon card with 250 HP, printed as Stage 2 GX.

Its strongest attack, Crimson Storm, is printed at 300 damage for 5 Energy — 60 damage per Energy card.

Is Charizard-GX SM60 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 300 damage attack that needs 5 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

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

Back to summary

Is Charizard-GX SM60 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 points250 HPtypical for the group is 214 HP — this card is 17% above

What does being a Fire card do for Charizard-GX SM60?

What knocks out Charizard-GX SM60 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 270 cards in the archive that can remove Charizard-GX SM60 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 130 printed damage against a bar of 125. 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.

What has to be in play before Charizard-GX SM60 can be?

Charizard-GX evolves from Charmeleon, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

The Charizard-GX line, oldest stage firstPokédex #006
  • 1CharmanderCharmanderHardest attack printed at this stage: 40 damage80 HP

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (110 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

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.

Charizard-GX SM60 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, Crimson Storm, needs 5 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 5 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 60 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Charmeleon has to be on the field first.
