Is Dhelmise VMAX 10 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 240 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.

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 240 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Dhelmise VMAX 10 strong for a VMAX card?

VMAX cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Grass card do for Dhelmise VMAX 10?

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.

Deals double to this card 1,574 Fire cards carry that type A Fire attack printed at 165 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Dhelmise VMAX 10 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

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

Dhelmise VMAX 10 is one print of Dhelmise. 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.

Dhelmise has been printed 18 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 Dhelmise VMAX 10 can be?

Dhelmise VMAX evolves from Dhelmise V, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Dhelmise → Dhelmise V → Dhelmise VMAX

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Dhelmise V.
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 (330 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 Dhelmise print, and can the older ones still be played?

18 prints carry this name in the archive, and 16 of them are laid out below. 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 (330 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

16 rows are shown of the 18 prints counted under this name.

6 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 Dhelmise VMAX 10, 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.

The rule printed on this card

“VMAX rule: When your Pokémon VMAX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 3 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

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.

Dhelmise VMAX 10 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, Max Anchor, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 80 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Dhelmise V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 91 of 17,290

Grass cardsNo. 12 of 2,387

VMAX cardsNo. 10 of 209

Shining FatesNo. 1 of 58

What actually removes it

A Fire attack printed at 165 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 330 HP.
151 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,943 cards in one attack.

Dhelmise VMAX 10 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Dhelmise VMAX 10?

Dhelmise VMAX 10 has 330 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 165 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 330.

What is the strongest attack on Dhelmise VMAX 10?

Max Anchor, printed at 240 damage for 3 Energy — 80 damage per Energy card. During your next turn, this Pokémon can't use Max Anchor.

What is the retreat cost of Dhelmise VMAX 10?

3 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Dhelmise print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 16 prints listed on this page, 6 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.

What does Dhelmise VMAX evolve from?

Dhelmise V. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Dhelmise VMAX 10 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.

What does the rule on Dhelmise VMAX 10 mean?

The card reads “VMAX rule: When your Pokémon VMAX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Dhelmise VMAX 10 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.
