Is Growlithe 31 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Of the 1,108 cards in the archive that can remove Growlithe 31 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 45.

What is Growlithe as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Growlithe 31 is one print of Growlithe. 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.

Growlithe has been printed 39 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Is this the strongest Growlithe print, and can the older ones still be played?

39 prints carry this name in the archive, and 38 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.

The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Growlithe 31 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, Fire Claws, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 23 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Every card in the archiveNo. 7,584 of 17,290

Fire cardsNo. 754 of 1,574

Scarlet & VioletNo. 100 of 209

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 45 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 90 HP.
1,116 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 2,428 cards in one attack.

Does this page say how good Growlithe 31 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
