What knocks out Klink 125 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fire attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 30 printed damage rather than 60.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,191 cards in the archive that can remove Klink 125 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 30. 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.

Klinkweak to Fire ×2

Klinkresists Grass -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Grass resistance changes

Damage from Grass attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

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

Klink 125 is one print of Klink. 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.

Klink has been printed 14 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.

What has to be in play before Klink 125 can be?

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

+30 HP · +50 damage

Klang10 prints on record · Black and White

+70 HP · +120 damage

Klinklang9 prints on record · Black and White

Klink → Klang → Klinklang

It is not the end of the line either — Klang evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (160 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 Klink print, and can the older ones still be played?

14 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 (60 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

6 of the 14 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.

Klink 125 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Klink 125?

Does this page say how good Klink 125 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.
