Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Snow Mirage	1 Water + 2 Colorless	3	160	53	This attack's damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon. During your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks from Pokémon that have an Ability.
Silvery Snow Star	No Energy	0	70×	—	This attack does 70 damage for each of your opponent's Pokémon V in play. This damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.)

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

What each 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.

Snow Mirage 3 Energy160 damage for 3 Energy — 53 per Energy card160
Silvery Snow Star No Energy70 damage70

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (160).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Silvery Snow Star is printed as 70×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

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.

Is Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 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.

Is Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 strong for a VSTAR card?

VSTAR 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 Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34?

Of the 251 cards in the archive that can remove Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 120 printed damage against a bar of 120. 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 Alolan Vulpix print, and can the older ones still be played?

11 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.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (240 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

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

“VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 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, Snow Mirage, 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 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Alolan Vulpix V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 978 of 17,290

Water cardsNo. 115 of 2,435

VSTAR cardsNo. 93 of 94

Silver TempestNo. 15 of 177

What actually removes it

A Metal attack printed at 120 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 240 HP.
252 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,673 cards in one attack.

Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34?

Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 has 240 HP and a Metal weakness at ×2, so a Metal attack printed at 120 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 240.

What is the strongest attack on Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34?

Snow Mirage, 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. During your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks from Pokémon that have an Ability.

What is the retreat cost of Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34?

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 Silvery Snow Star mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is dealt once for each thing the sentence on the card counts. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "This attack does 70 damage for each of your opponent's Pokémon V in play. This damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.)"

Can an older Alolan Vulpix print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 11 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 Alolan Vulpix VSTAR evolve from?

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

Can Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 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 Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 mean?

The card reads “VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR 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 Alolan Vulpix VSTAR 34 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.
