What Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 230 does without attacking

Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 230 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Golden Flame — Ability · once a turn

Once during your turn, you may attach up to 2 Basic Fire Energy cards from your hand to 1 of your Benched Ethan's Pokémon.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Golden Flame can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Back to summary

Is Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 230 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 160 damage attack that needs 4 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 160 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 230 strong for a ex card?

ex 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 Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 230?

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.

Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 230 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, Shining Feathers, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 40 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 1,070 of 17,290

Fire cardsNo. 101 of 1,574

ex cardsNo. 511 of 942

Destined RivalsNo. 35 of 209

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 115 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 230 HP.
377 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 3,041 cards in one attack.
