Ground Burn	2 Fire + 1 Colorless	3	140+	47	Discard the top card of each player's deck. This attack does 140 more damage for each Energy card discarded in this way.

Retreating costs a further 3 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.

Hot Magma 2 Energy70 damage for 2 Energy — 35 per Energy card70
Ground Burn 3 Energy140 damage for 3 Energy — 47 per Energy card140

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (140).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Ground Burn is printed as 140+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Magcargo ex 191 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 Magcargo ex 191 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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 140 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Magcargo ex 191 strong for a Tera card?

Tera 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.

Of the 200 cards in the archive that can remove Magcargo ex 191 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 140 printed damage against a bar of 135. 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.

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

Magcargo ex 191 is one print of Magcargo. 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.

What has to be in play before Magcargo ex 191 can be?

Magcargo ex evolves from Slugma, 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 Slugma.
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 219.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (270 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 Magcargo 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 (270 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.

What can you use instead of Magcargo ex 191?

Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

Which rules apply to Magcargo ex 191, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

The rule printed on this card

“As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent's). Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. Tera: As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent's).”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Magcargo ex 191 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, Ground Burn, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 47 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Slugma has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 611 of 17,290

Fire cardsNo. 61 of 1,574

ex cardsNo. 320 of 942

Twilight MasqueradeNo. 12 of 185

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 135 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 270 HP.
200 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 2,990 cards in one attack.

Magcargo ex 191 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Magcargo ex 191?

Magcargo ex 191 has 270 HP and a Water weakness at ×2, so a Water attack printed at 135 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 270.

What is the strongest attack on Magcargo ex 191?

Ground Burn, printed at 140 damage for 3 Energy — 47 damage per Energy card. Discard the top card of each player's deck. This attack does 140 more damage for each Energy card discarded in this way.

What is the retreat cost of Magcargo ex 191?

3 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 Ground Burn mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Discard the top card of each player's deck. This attack does 140 more damage for each Energy card discarded in this way."

Can an older Magcargo print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 28 prints listed on this page, 7 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 Magcargo ex evolve from?

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

Can Magcargo ex 191 be played in a tournament?

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

What does the rule on Magcargo ex 191 mean?

The card reads “As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent's). Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. Tera: As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent's).” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Magcargo ex 191 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.
