Dragon Tail	1 Water + 1 Lightning	2	70×	35	Flip 2 coins. This attack does 70 damage for each heads.

Retreating costs a further 2 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.

Ram 1 Energy30 damage for 1 Energy — 30 per Energy card30
Dragon Tail 2 Energy70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 per Energy card70

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (70).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Dragon Tail is printed as 70×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

How does Dragonair 158 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

Is Dragonair 158 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 70 damage attack that needs 2 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 70 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Dragon card do for Dragonair 158?

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.

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

Dragonair 158 is one print of Dragonair. 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.

Dragonair has been printed 30 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.

What has to be in play before Dragonair 158 can be?

Dragonair evolves from Dratini, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

The Dragonair line, oldest stage firstPokédex #148

Dratini17 prints on record · Base Set (Shadowless)

+20 HP · +30 damage

Dragonair14 prints on record · Base Set (Shadowless)

+80 HP · +110 damage

Dragonite10 prints on record · Triumphant

Dratini → Dragonair → Dragonite

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Dratini.
It is not the end of the line either — Dragonite evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 148.

1DratiniHardest attack printed at this stage: 60 damage80 HP
2DragonairHardest attack printed at this stage: 90 damage. Evolving here adds 20 HP over the stage before it100 HP
3DragoniteHardest attack printed at this stage: 200 damage. Evolving here adds 80 HP over the stage before it180 HP

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (180 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.

Back to summary

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

30 prints carry this name in the archive, and 28 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.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (100 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

28 rows are shown of the 30 prints counted under this name.

5 of the 28 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Dragonair 158 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, Dragon Tail, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 35 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 — Dratini has to be on the field first.

Dragonair 158 — frequently asked questions

What is the strongest attack on Dragonair 158?

Dragon Tail, printed at 70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 damage per Energy card. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 70 damage for each heads.

What is the retreat cost of Dragonair 158?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the × after the damage on Dragon Tail mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is dealt once for each thing the sentence on the card counts. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Flip 2 coins. This attack does 70 damage for each heads."

Can an older Dragonair print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 28 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 Dragonair evolve from?

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

Can Dragonair 158 be played in a tournament?

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

Does this page say how good Dragonair 158 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.
