Is Larvitar 203 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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

Larvitar 203 is one print of Larvitar. 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.

Larvitar has been printed 32 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 Larvitar 203 can be?

Larvitar evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

It is not the end of the line either — Pupitar 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.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (190 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.

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

32 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 (70 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

7 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.

Larvitar 203 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, Confront, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 15 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

Every card in the archiveNo. 10,622 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 1,282 of 1,884

Obsidian FlamesNo. 138 of 210

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 35 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
1,052 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 912 cards in one attack.

Does this page say how good Larvitar 203 is in a deck?
