Orbeetle 20 is a Grass Pokémon card with 110 HP, printed as Stage 2.

Mysterious Wave2 Energy cards

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.

  • Mysterious Wave 2 Energy30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 per Energy card30

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (30).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

  • Mysterious Wave is printed as 30+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Orbeetle 20 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What Orbeetle 20 does without attacking

Orbeetle 20 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
None
Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.
Jamming Attachment — Ability
When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may attach up to 3 Energy cards from your opponent's discard pile to your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like.
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.

Back to summary

Is Orbeetle 20 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 2 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 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

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 Orbeetle as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Orbeetle 20 is one print of Orbeetle. 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.

What has to be in play before Orbeetle 20 can be?

Orbeetle evolves from Dottler, 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 (130 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 Orbeetle print, and can the older ones still be played?

15 prints carry this name in the archive, and 13 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.

Orbeetle 20 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, Mysterious Wave, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Dottler has to be on the field first.

Stage 2 cardsNo. 1,439 of 1,749

What actually removes it

  • A Fire attack printed at 55 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 110 HP.
  • 768 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 353 cards in one attack.

Orbeetle 20 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Orbeetle 20?

Orbeetle 20 has 110 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 55 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 110.

What is the strongest attack on Orbeetle 20?

Mysterious Wave, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card. This attack does 50 more damage for each Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Orbeetle 20?

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

What does the + after the damage on Mysterious Wave mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "This attack does 50 more damage for each Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon."

Can an older Orbeetle print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 13 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 Orbeetle evolve from?

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

Can Orbeetle 20 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.

Does this page say how good Orbeetle 20 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.
