Back to summaryWhat does being a Dragon card do for Dipplin 127?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |

What being a Dragon card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Dragon weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule.
What is Dipplin as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Dipplin 127 is one print of Dipplin. 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.
Every Dipplin print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Dipplin 127 can be?
Dipplin evolves from Applin, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Applin.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
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 Dipplin print, and can the older ones still be played?
6 prints carry this name in the archive. 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.
| Set | Regulation mark | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dipplin 013/142 | SV07: Stellar Crown | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Dipplin 017/182 | SV10: Destined Rivals | Mark I | Legal in Standard |
| Dipplin 170/167 | SV06: Twilight Masquerade | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Dipplin 010/131 | SV: Prismatic Evolutions | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Dipplin 018/167 | SV06: Twilight Masquerade | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Dipplin 127/167 | SV06: Twilight Masquerade | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
6 of the 6 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.
Back to summaryWhat can you use instead of Dipplin 127?
