Is Vaporeon ex 23 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 280 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Vaporeon ex 23 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 Water card do for Vaporeon ex 23?

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

Vaporeon ex 23 is one print of Vaporeon. 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.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 134.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (280 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.

Is this the strongest Vaporeon print, and can the older ones still be played?

44 prints carry this name in the archive, and 33 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 (320 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Dark Vaporeon 45/82	Team Rocket	No mark printed	Not legal in Standard

4 of the 33 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.

Which rules apply to Vaporeon ex 23, 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.”

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.

Vaporeon ex 23 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, Aquamarine, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 93 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

Every card in the archiveNo. 503 of 17,290

Water cardsNo. 82 of 2,435

ex cardsNo. 260 of 942

Prismatic EvolutionsNo. 6 of 123

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 140 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 280 HP.
215 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,702 cards in one attack.

Vaporeon ex 23 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Vaporeon ex 23?

Vaporeon ex 23 has 280 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 140 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 280.

What is the strongest attack on Vaporeon ex 23?

Aquamarine, printed at 280 damage for 3 Energy — 93 damage per Energy card. During your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack.

What is the retreat cost of Vaporeon ex 23?

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

Can an older Vaporeon print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 33 prints listed on this page, 4 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 Vaporeon 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 Vaporeon ex 23 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 Vaporeon ex 23 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.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Vaporeon ex 23 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.
