What Celebi VMAX 199 does without attacking

Celebi VMAX 199 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Curative Forest — Ability · once a turn

Once during your turn, you may heal 20 damage from each of your Grass Pokémon.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Curative Forest can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Back to summary

Is Celebi VMAX 199 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 130 damage attack that needs 2 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 130 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Celebi VMAX 199 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 Celebi VMAX 199?

Is this the strongest Celebi print, and can the older ones still be played?

37 prints carry this name in the archive, and 35 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 (310 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Which rules apply to Celebi VMAX 199, 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.

Celebi VMAX 199 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 Plant, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 65 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Celebi V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Grass cardsNo. 32 of 2,387

VMAX cardsNo. 154 of 209

Chilling ReignNo. 18 of 168

What actually removes it

A Fire attack printed at 155 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 310 HP.
187 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,843 cards in one attack.

Celebi VMAX 199 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Celebi VMAX 199?

Celebi VMAX 199 has 310 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 155 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 310.

What is the strongest attack on Celebi VMAX 199?

Max Plant, printed at 130 damage for 2 Energy — 65 damage per Energy card. Search your deck for up to 2 Pokémon, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

What is the retreat cost of Celebi VMAX 199?

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

How often can you use Curative Forest?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Celebi VMAX in play carries its own use.

Can an older Celebi print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 35 prints listed on this page, 2 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 Celebi VMAX evolve from?

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

Can Celebi VMAX 199 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.

What does the rule on Celebi VMAX 199 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 Celebi VMAX 199 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.
