What do the attacks on Flutter Mane 43 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 90 damage, which is 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hex Hurl | 3 Colorless | 3 | 90 | 30 | Put 2 damage counters on your opponent's Benched Pokémon in any way you like. |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.
One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.
This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage
Hex Hurl puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

Back to summaryWhat Flutter Mane 43 does without attacking
Flutter Mane 43 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 Flutter Mane 43 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 90 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 3 typically return 34.7 damage per Energy card. This card returns 30.

|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |

| Flutter Mane 43 — this card | 30.0 | 90 damage for 3 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

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 90 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
Is Flutter Mane 43 strong for a Ancient card?
Ancient 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.
The group is every Ancient card in the archive — 73 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.
What does being a Psychic card do for Flutter Mane 43?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.

What being a Psychic card is worth
Groups that most often print a Psychic weakness: Psychic (2,335 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Psychic cards are themselves most exposed to Metal.
What knocks out Flutter Mane 43 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Metal attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 45 printed damage rather than 90.

Flutter Mane 4390 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 620 cards in the archive that can remove Flutter Mane 43 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 45. 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 Flutter Mane as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Flutter Mane 43 is one print of Flutter Mane. 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.
Every Flutter Mane print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryIs this the strongest Flutter Mane print, and can the older ones still be played?
4 prints carry this name in the archive. 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.
| Set | Regulation mark | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flutter Mane 097 | SV: Scarlet & Violet Promo Cards | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Flutter Mane 043/131 | SV: Prismatic Evolutions | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Flutter Mane 078/162 | World Championship Decks | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
| Flutter Mane 096/191 | SV08: Surging Sparks | Mark H | Legal in Standard |
4 of the 4 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 generation of cards does Flutter Mane 43 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
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.

Flutter Mane 43 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, Hex Hurl, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 30 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
What actually removes it
- A Metal attack printed at 45 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 90 HP.
- 626 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 1,668 cards in one attack.
