What do the attacks on Umbreon VMAX 214 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 160 damage, which is 53 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Darkness | 1 Darkness + 2 Colorless | 3 | 160 | 53 | No extra effect. |
Retreating costs a further 2 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.

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.

Back to summaryWhat Umbreon VMAX 214 does without attacking
Umbreon VMAX 214 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
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.
Is Umbreon VMAX 214 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 160 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.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 3 typically return 34.7 damage per Energy card. This card returns 53.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |
| 3 Energy | 34.7 | 104 damage typical |
| 4 Energy | 27.8 | 111 damage typical |
| 5 Energy | 41.8 | 209 damage typical |
| Umbreon VMAX 214 — this card | 53.0 | 160 damage for 3 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

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 160 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
Is Umbreon VMAX 214 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.
The group is every VMAX card in the archive — 209 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.
What does being a Darkness card do for Umbreon VMAX 214?
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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |
| Water | 14.1% | 2,435 cards |
| Colorless | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |
| Fire | 9.1% | 1,574 cards |
| Fighting | 10.9% | 1,884 cards |
| Lightning | 8.8% | 1,520 cards |

| Metal | 5.4% | 925 cards |
| Darkness — this card | 7.2% | 1,249 cards |
| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Darkness weakness.
What being a Darkness card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Darkness weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Darkness cards are themselves most exposed to Grass.
What knocks out Umbreon VMAX 214 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Grass attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 155 printed damage rather than 310.
160 damage becomes 320 against this card
Umbreon VMAX 214310 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 90 cards in the archive that can remove Umbreon VMAX 214 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 160 printed damage against a bar of 155. 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.

| Flapple VMAX (19) | Battle Styles | 320 | 250 | 500 |

310 HP against a Grass ×2 weakness means any Grass attack printed at 155 damage or more is enough. 90 cards in the archive clear that bar.

What is Umbreon as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Umbreon VMAX 214 is one print of Umbreon. 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 Umbreon 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 summaryWhat has to be in play before Umbreon VMAX 214 can be?
Umbreon VMAX evolves from Umbreon V, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Umbreon V.
- The line runs 4 stages, so the first card has to be in play 3 turns before this one can be.
- Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 197.
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.
Is this the strongest Umbreon print, and can the older ones still be played?
49 prints carry this name in the archive, and 38 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.
38 rows are shown of the 49 prints counted under this name.

Which rules apply to Umbreon VMAX 214, 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.

Where this card can be played
This card is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. It carries regulation mark E, printed next to the card number. It was released on August 27, 2021.
Which generation of cards does Umbreon VMAX 214 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.

Umbreon VMAX 214 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 Darkness, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 53 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Umbreon V has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Grass attack printed at 155 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 310 HP.
- 90 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 934 cards in one attack.
