Is Skarmory 124 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What knocks out Skarmory 124 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 635 cards in the archive that can remove Skarmory 124 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 55. 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.

Skarmoryweak to Lightning ×2

Skarmoryresists Fighting -30

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

What the Fighting resistance changes

Damage from Fighting 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.

Skarmory 124 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, Steel Wing, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 25 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. 5,859 of 17,290

Metal cardsNo. 457 of 924

Surging SparksNo. 101 of 207

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 55 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 110 HP.
639 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 524 cards in one attack.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Skarmory 124 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Skarmory 124?

Skarmory 124 has 110 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 55 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 110.

What is the strongest attack on Skarmory 124?

Steel Wing, printed at 50 damage for 2 Energy — 25 damage per Energy card. During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes 30 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

What is the retreat cost of Skarmory 124?

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

Can an older Skarmory print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 34 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.

Can Skarmory 124 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 Skarmory 124 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.
