What do the attacks on Kyogre 21 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazing Surge | 1 Water + 1 Lightning + 1 Metal + 1 Colorless | 4 | — | — | This attack does 80 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) |
Retreating costs a further 3 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 summaryWhat does being a Water card do for Kyogre 21?
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 Kyogre 21 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 60 printed damage rather than 120.
60 damage becomes 120 against this card
Kyogre 21120 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 635 cards in the archive that can remove Kyogre 21 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60. 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.

| Pikachu ex (247) | Surging Sparks | 200 | 300 | 600 |
120 HP against a Lightning ×2 weakness means any Lightning attack printed at 60 damage or more is enough. 639 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Kyogre as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Kyogre 21 is one print of Kyogre. 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 Kyogre 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 summaryIs this the strongest Kyogre print, and can the older ones still be played?
34 prints carry this name in the archive, and 30 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.
30 rows are shown of the 34 prints counted under this name.

3 of the 30 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.
Back to summaryWhich other cards share the Pokémon behind Kyogre 21?

Which rules apply to Kyogre 21, 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Weakness | Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card. | 16,744 cards | 81.9% |

| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |

Where this card can be played
This card is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. It carries regulation mark D, printed next to the card number. It was released on February 19, 2021.
Which generation of cards does Kyogre 21 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.
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.
