How does Crabominable 42 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.

What Crabominable 42 does without attacking

Crabominable 42 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Is Crabominable 42 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 250 damage attack that needs 5 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 250 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Of the 410 cards in the archive that can remove Crabominable 42 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 80 printed damage against a bar of 80.

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

Crabominable 42 is one print of Crabominable. 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.

Crabominable has been printed 12 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 Crabominable 42 can be?

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

The Crabominable line, oldest stage first

+70 HP · +190 damage

Crabominable6 prints on record · SM - Unbroken Bonds

Crabrawler → Crabominable

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Crabrawler.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (160 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 Crabominable print, and can the older ones still be played?

12 prints carry this name in the archive, and 11 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 (220 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

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.

Crabominable 42 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, Haymaker, needs 5 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 5 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 50 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 — Crabrawler has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 2,895 of 17,290

Water cardsNo. 369 of 2,435

Stage 1 cardsNo. 447 of 5,102

Stellar CrownNo. 31 of 155

What actually removes it

A Metal attack printed at 80 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 160 HP.
413 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,702 cards in one attack.

Crabominable 42 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Crabominable 42?

Crabominable 42 has 160 HP and a Metal weakness at ×2, so a Metal attack printed at 80 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 160.

What is the strongest attack on Crabominable 42?

Haymaker, printed at 250 damage for 5 Energy — 50 damage per Energy card. During your next turn, this Pokémon can't use Haymaker.

What is the retreat cost of Crabominable 42?

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

Can an older Crabominable print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 11 prints listed on this page, 3 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 Crabominable evolve from?

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

Can Crabominable 42 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.

Does this page say how good Crabominable 42 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.
