Is Zacian 136 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 130 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 759 cards in the archive that can remove Zacian 136 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60. 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.

Zacianweak to Fire ×2

Zacianresists Grass -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Grass resistance changes

Damage from Grass attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

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.

Zacian 136 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, Brave Blade, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 43 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. 4,897 of 17,290

Metal cardsNo. 400 of 924

Paradox RiftNo. 87 of 223

What actually removes it

A Fire attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
768 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 958 cards in one attack.
Damage from Grass attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Zacian 136 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Zacian 136?

Zacian 136 has 120 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 60 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Zacian 136?

Brave Blade, printed at 130 damage for 3 Energy — 43 damage per Energy card. During your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack.

What is the retreat cost of Zacian 136?

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

Can an older Zacian print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 26 prints listed on this page, 9 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.

Can Zacian 136 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 Zacian 136 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.
