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

Is Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 strong for a ex card?

What does being a Fighting card do for Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215?

Which rules apply to Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

The rule printed on this card

“Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 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, Draconic Buster, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 130 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
It cannot start the game in play — Cynthia's Gabite has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 91 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 10 of 1,884

ex cardsNo. 82 of 942

Destined RivalsNo. 2 of 209

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 165 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 330 HP.
75 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 3,471 cards in one attack.

Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215?

Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 has 330 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 165 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 330.

What is the strongest attack on Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215?

Draconic Buster, printed at 260 damage for 2 Energy — 130 damage per Energy card. Discard all Energy from this Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215?

None. Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

Can an older Cynthia's Garchomp print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 5 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Cynthia's Garchomp ex evolve from?

Cynthia's Gabite. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark I. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

What does the rule on Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 mean?

The card reads “Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Cynthia's Garchomp ex 215 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.
