What do the attacks on Heliolisk 50 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 150 damage, which is 50 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Static Shock | 1 Lightning | 1 | 30 | 30 | No extra effect. |
| Wild Charge | 1 Lightning + 2 Colorless | 3 | 150 | 50 | This Pokémon also does 50 damage to itself. |
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.
How does Heliolisk 50 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.

This card prints 120 HP, which is 32% of that ceiling.

Back to summaryIs Heliolisk 50 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 150 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 1 typically return 49.0 damage per Energy card. This card returns 50.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |

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 150 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Lightning card do for Heliolisk 50?
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 Lightning card is worth
Groups that most often print a Lightning weakness: Water (2,435 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Lightning cards are themselves most exposed to Fighting.
What knocks out Heliolisk 50 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 60 printed damage rather than 120.

Heliolisk 50120 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 901 cards in the archive that can remove Heliolisk 50 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60. 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 Heliolisk as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Heliolisk 50 is one print of Heliolisk. 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 Heliolisk 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 summaryWhat has to be in play before Heliolisk 50 can be?
Heliolisk evolves from Helioptile, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Helioptile.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
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 Heliolisk print, and can the older ones still be played?
16 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.

7 of the 16 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 rules apply to Heliolisk 50, and where can it be played?
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.
| Clause | What the rulebook says | Cards it applies to | Share of the archive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weakness | Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card. | 16,744 cards | 81.9% |
| Retreat | Retreat your Active Pokemon (only once per turn). | 17,244 cards | 84.3% |
| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |
Counted across 20,444 English cards. A clause applies to this card because the card carries the property the clause names, not because we judged it to.

Where this card can be played
This card is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play. It carries regulation mark F, printed next to the card number. It was released on January 20, 2023.
Which generation of cards does Heliolisk 50 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.

Heliolisk 50 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, Wild Charge, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 50 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 — Helioptile has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Fighting attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
- 909 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 2,336 cards in one attack.
