What do the attacks on Volcanion 25 cost, and what do they hit for?

The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 4 Energy and returns 120 damage, which is 30 damage for every Energy card attached.

Volcanion 25 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Hammer In	1 Water + 1 Colorless	2	50	25	No extra effect.
Dynamite Steam	3 Water + 1 Colorless	4	120×	30	Flip 2 coins. This attack does 120 damage for each heads.

Retreating costs a further 3 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Hammer In2 Energy cards

Dynamite Steam4 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.

Hammer In 2 Energy50 damage for 2 Energy — 25 per Energy card50
Dynamite Steam 4 Energy120 damage for 4 Energy — 30 per Energy card120

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (120).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Dynamite Steam is printed as 120×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Is Volcanion 25 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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

What does being a Water card do for Volcanion 25?

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.

Volcanion 25 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, Dynamite Steam, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,029 of 17,290

Water cardsNo. 529 of 2,435

Shining FatesNo. 21 of 58

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 65 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 130 HP.
562 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,605 cards in one attack.

Volcanion 25 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Volcanion 25?

Volcanion 25 has 130 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 65 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 130.

What is the strongest attack on Volcanion 25?

Dynamite Steam, printed at 120 damage for 4 Energy — 30 damage per Energy card. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 120 damage for each heads.

What is the retreat cost of Volcanion 25?

3 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 Dynamite Steam 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 — "Flip 2 coins. This attack does 120 damage for each heads."

Can an older Volcanion print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 22 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.

Can Volcanion 25 be played in a tournament?

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

Does this page say how good Volcanion 25 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.
