How does Zygarde 118 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

Is Zygarde 118 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 1 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 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Zygarde 118 strong for a Rapid Strike card?

Rapid Strike 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.

Hit points130 HPtypical for the group is 173 HP — this card is 25% below
Top printed damage30 damagetypical for the group is 70 damage — this card is 57% below

The group is every Rapid Strike card in the archive — 158 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.

Back to summary

What does being a Dragon card do for Zygarde 118?

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.

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

Zygarde 118 is one print of Zygarde. 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.

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

30 prints carry this name in the archive, and 26 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.

Zygarde 118 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, Bite, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
  • That works out at 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
