What do the attacks on Feebas 38 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nap | 1 Colorless | 1 | — | — | Heal 20 damage from this Pokémon. |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
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.
Back to summaryHow does Feebas 38 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.

Back to summaryWhat does being a Water card do for Feebas 38?
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.

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Water weakness.
What being a Water card is worth
Groups that most often print a Water weakness: Fire (1,574 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Water cards are themselves most exposed to Lightning.
What knocks out Feebas 38 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Lightning attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 15 printed damage rather than 30.

Feebas 3830 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 1,286 cards in the archive that can remove Feebas 38 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 20 printed damage against a bar of 15. 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.

30 HP against a Lightning ×2 weakness means any Lightning attack printed at 15 damage or more is enough. 1,301 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Feebas as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Feebas 38 is one print of Feebas. 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 Feebas 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 Feebas 38 can be?
Feebas evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- It is not the end of the line either — Milotic evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
- 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 Feebas print, and can the older ones still be played?
19 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.

6 of the 19 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.
