Dedenne 78 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Mad Party	1 Psychic + 2 Colorless	3	20×	7	This attack does 20 damage for each Pokémon in your discard pile that has the Mad Party attack.

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

Mad Party3 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.

Mad Party 3 Energy20 damage for 3 Energy — 7 per Energy card20

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (20).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Mad Party is printed as 20×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Is Dedenne 78 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Of the 667 cards in the archive that can remove Dedenne 78 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 35. 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.

Dedenne 78 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, Mad Party, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 7 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 10,622 of 17,290

Psychic cardsNo. 1,349 of 2,334

Darkness AblazeNo. 125 of 173

What actually removes it

A Metal attack printed at 35 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
675 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 86 cards in one attack.

Dedenne 78 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Dedenne 78?

Dedenne 78 has 70 HP and a Metal weakness at ×2, so a Metal attack printed at 35 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the strongest attack on Dedenne 78?

Mad Party, printed at 20 damage for 3 Energy — 7 damage per Energy card. This attack does 20 damage for each Pokémon in your discard pile that has the Mad Party attack.

What is the retreat cost of Dedenne 78?

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 Mad Party 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 20 damage for each Pokémon in your discard pile that has the Mad Party attack."

Can an older Dedenne print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 28 prints listed on this page, 7 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.

Can Dedenne 78 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark D. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Dedenne 78 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.
