Jirachi 98 is a Metal Pokémon card with 80 HP, printed as Basic.

Its strongest attack, Slap, is printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card.

Is Jirachi 98 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 2 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 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Metal card do for Jirachi 98?

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.

What knocks out Jirachi 98 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fire attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 40 printed damage rather than 80.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 999 cards in the archive that can remove Jirachi 98 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 40. 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.

Jirachiweak to Fire ×2
Jirachiresists 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.

Jirachi 98 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, Slap, 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. 9,046 of 17,290
Metal cardsNo. 634 of 924
Stellar CrownNo. 99 of 155

What actually removes it

  • A Fire attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
  • 1,014 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 185 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.

Can an older Jirachi print 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 Jirachi 98 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.
