Is Crobat VMAX SWSH099 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 180 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Crobat VMAX SWSH099 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 Darkness card do for Crobat VMAX SWSH099?

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 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 150 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

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

44 prints carry this name in the archive, and 34 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 Crobat VMAX SWSH099, 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.

Crobat VMAX SWSH099 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 Cutter, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 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 — Crobat V has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 441 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 57 of 1,248

VMAX cardsNo. 197 of 209

SWSH Black Star PromosNo. 24 of 292

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 150 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 300 HP.
221 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 945 cards in one attack.

Crobat VMAX SWSH099 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Crobat VMAX SWSH099?

Crobat VMAX SWSH099 has 300 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 150 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 300.

What is the retreat cost of Crobat VMAX SWSH099?

Can an older Crobat print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 34 prints listed on this page, 9 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 Crobat VMAX evolve from?

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

Can Crobat VMAX SWSH099 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 Crobat VMAX SWSH099 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 Crobat VMAX SWSH099 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.
