This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Ominous Numbers puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

Is Mimikyu VMAX 69 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 120 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 120 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Mimikyu VMAX 69 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 Psychic card do for Mimikyu VMAX 69?

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.

Deals double to this card 1,249 Darkness cards carry that type A Darkness attack printed at 150 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Mimikyu VMAX 69 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 151 cards in the archive that can remove Mimikyu VMAX 69 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 150 printed damage against a bar of 150. 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.

Mimikyu VMAXweak to Darkness ×2

Mimikyu VMAXresists Fighting -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Fighting resistance changes

Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

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

37 prints carry this name in the archive, and 32 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.

10 of the 32 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.

What can you use instead of Mimikyu VMAX 69?

Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

Which rules apply to Mimikyu VMAX 69, 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.

Mimikyu VMAX 69 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 Shadow, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 60 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 — Mimikyu V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 441 of 17,290

Psychic cardsNo. 50 of 2,334

VMAX cardsNo. 197 of 209

Brilliant StarsNo. 3 of 151

What actually removes it

A Darkness attack printed at 150 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 300 HP.
151 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,762 cards in one attack.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Mimikyu VMAX 69 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Mimikyu VMAX 69?

Mimikyu VMAX 69 has 300 HP and a Darkness weakness at ×2, so a Darkness attack printed at 150 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 300.

What is the strongest attack on Mimikyu VMAX 69?

Max Shadow, printed at 120 damage for 2 Energy — 60 damage per Energy card. Discard a random card from your opponent's hand.

What is the retreat cost of Mimikyu VMAX 69?

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

Does Mimikyu VMAX 69 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Mimikyu print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 32 prints listed on this page, 10 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 Mimikyu VMAX evolve from?

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

Can Mimikyu VMAX 69 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 Mimikyu VMAX 69 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 Mimikyu VMAX 69 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.
