What N's Zoroark ex 98 does without attacking

N's Zoroark ex 98 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn
1 of 1
Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.
Trade — Ability · once a turn
You must discard a card from your hand in order to use this Ability. Once during your turn, you may draw 2 cards.
Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

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.

Trade can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Back to summary

Is N's Zoroark ex 98 strong for a ex card?

ex 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 Darkness card do for N's Zoroark ex 98?

What knocks out N's Zoroark ex 98 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 134 cards in the archive that can remove N's Zoroark ex 98 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 140 printed damage against a bar of 140. 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.

Is this the strongest N's Zoroark print, and can the older ones still be played?

6 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.

N's Zoroark ex 98 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out N's Zoroark ex 98?

N's Zoroark ex 98 has 280 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 140 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 280.

What is the retreat cost of N's Zoroark ex 98?

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

How often can you use Trade?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of N's Zoroark ex in play carries its own use.

Can an older N's Zoroark print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 6 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 N's Zoroark ex evolve from?

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

Can N's Zoroark ex 98 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark I. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

What does the rule on N's Zoroark ex 98 mean?

The card reads “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 N's Zoroark ex 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.
