What do the attacks on Team Rocket's Ekans 112 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 1 Energy and returns 10 damage, which is 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drag Down | 1 Colorless | 1 | — | — | Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. |

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.

Back to summaryIs Team Rocket's Ekans 112 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 10 damage attack that needs 1 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 10.
| Group | Share | Value |

| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |

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 10 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Darkness card do for Team Rocket's Ekans 112?
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.

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Darkness weakness.
What being a Darkness card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Darkness weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Darkness cards are themselves most exposed to Fighting.
What knocks out Team Rocket's Ekans 112 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 35 printed damage rather than 70.

Team Rocket's Ekans 11270 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 1,208 cards in the archive that can remove Team Rocket's Ekans 112 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 35. 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.

70 HP against a Fighting ×2 weakness means any Fighting attack printed at 35 damage or more is enough. 1,221 cards in the archive clear that bar.

| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |

Which generation of cards does Team Rocket's Ekans 112 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.
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.

Team Rocket's Ekans 112 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, Gnaw, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
- That works out at 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Fighting attack printed at 35 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
- 1,221 cards in the archive clear that bar.
