Is Giratina V 186 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 160 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.

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 Giratina V 186 strong for a V card?

V 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.

Hit points220 HPtypical for the group is 208 HP — this card is 6% above

Top printed damage160 damagetypical for the group is 126 damage — this card is 27% above

The group is every V card in the archive — 601 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.

Back to summary

What does being a Dragon card do for Giratina V 186?

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.

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

Giratina V 186 is one print of Giratina. 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.

Giratina has been printed 32 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

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.

What has to be in play before Giratina V 186 can be?

Giratina V evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (220 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.

Back to summary

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

32 prints carry this name in the archive, and 29 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 (280 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

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.

Giratina V 186 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, Shred, 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.

Giratina V 186 — frequently asked questions

What is the strongest attack on Giratina V 186?

Shred, printed at 160 damage for 3 Energy — 53 damage per Energy card. This attack's damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Giratina V 186?

Can an older Giratina print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 29 prints listed on this page, 8 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 Giratina V 186 be played in a tournament?

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

What does the rule on Giratina V 186 mean?

The card reads “V rule: When your Pokémon V 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 Giratina V 186 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.
