Is Sylveon ex 86 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 160 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Sylveon ex 86 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.

What does being a Psychic card do for Sylveon ex 86?

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.

Of the 165 cards in the archive that can remove Sylveon ex 86 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 Sylveon as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Sylveon ex 86 is one print of Sylveon. 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.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Eevee.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.

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.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Which rules apply to Sylveon ex 86, 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

“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

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Sylveon ex 86 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, Magical Charm, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 53 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Eevee has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Psychic cardsNo. 71 of 2,334

ex cardsNo. 320 of 942

Surging SparksNo. 17 of 207

What actually removes it

A Metal attack printed at 135 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 270 HP.
165 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,804 cards in one attack.

Sylveon ex 86 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Sylveon ex 86?

Sylveon ex 86 has 270 HP and a Metal weakness at ×2, so a Metal 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 Sylveon ex 86?

Magical Charm, printed at 160 damage for 3 Energy — 53 damage per Energy card. During your opponent's next turn, attacks used by the Defending Pokémon do 100 less damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

What is the retreat cost of Sylveon ex 86?

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

Can an older Sylveon print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 31 prints listed on this page, 6 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 Sylveon ex evolve from?

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

Can Sylveon ex 86 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 Sylveon ex 86 mean?

The card reads “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 Sylveon ex 86 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.
