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.

Mind Ruler 2 Energy30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 per Energy card30

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (30).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Mind Ruler is printed as 30×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

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

Zen Spoon 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 Alakazam V SWSH083 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 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Alakazam V SWSH083 strong for a V card?

V 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.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 337 cards in the archive that can remove Alakazam V SWSH083 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 100 printed damage against a bar of 95. 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.

Alakazam Vweak to Darkness ×2

Alakazam Vresists 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.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

8 of the 28 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.

Which rules apply to Alakazam V SWSH083, 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

“V rule: When your Pokémon V is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”

Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.

Alakazam V SWSH083 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, Mind Ruler, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 2,047 of 17,290

Psychic cardsNo. 237 of 2,334

V cardsNo. 489 of 601

SWSH Black Star PromosNo. 127 of 292

What actually removes it

A Darkness attack printed at 95 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 190 HP.
338 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 509 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.

Alakazam V SWSH083 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Alakazam V SWSH083?

Alakazam V SWSH083 has 190 HP and a Darkness weakness at ×2, so a Darkness attack printed at 95 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 190.

What is the strongest attack on Alakazam V SWSH083?

Mind Ruler, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card. This attack does 30 damage for each card in your opponent's hand.

What is the retreat cost of Alakazam V SWSH083?

1 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 Mind Ruler 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 — "This attack does 30 damage for each card in your opponent's hand."

Does Alakazam V SWSH083 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 Alakazam print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 28 prints listed on this page, 8 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 Alakazam V SWSH083 be played in a tournament?

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

What does the rule on Alakazam V SWSH083 mean?

The card reads “V rule: When your Pokémon V is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Alakazam V SWSH083 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.
