Tackle	1 Colorless	1	10	10	No extra effect.
Double Stomp	3 Fighting + 1 Colorless	4	70+	18	Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 more damage for each heads.

Retreating costs a further 4 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Tackle1 Energy card

Double Stomp4 Energy cards

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.

Tackle 1 Energy10 damage for 1 Energy — 10 per Energy card10
Double Stomp 4 Energy70 damage for 4 Energy — 18 per Energy card70

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (70).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Double Stomp is printed as 70+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

Is Hippopotas 93 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What does being a Fighting card do for Hippopotas 93?

Of the 875 cards in the archive that can remove Hippopotas 93 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50.

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

Hippopotas 93 is one print of Hippopotas. 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.

Hippopotas 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 Hippopotas 93 can be?

Hippopotas 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 — Hippowdon 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.

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 Hippopotas 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 (100 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Hippopotas 93 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, Double Stomp, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 18 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 4 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 6,636 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 786 of 1,884

Darkness AblazeNo. 93 of 173

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
880 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 2,740 cards in one attack.

Hippopotas 93 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Hippopotas 93?

Hippopotas 93 has 100 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 50 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 100.

What is the strongest attack on Hippopotas 93?

Double Stomp, printed at 70 damage for 4 Energy — 18 damage per Energy card. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 more damage for each heads.

What is the retreat cost of Hippopotas 93?

4 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 Double Stomp mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 more damage for each heads."

Can an older Hippopotas print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 14 prints listed on this page, 3 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 Hippopotas 93 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 Hippopotas 93 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.
