Is Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 250 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.

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 250 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 strong for a V-UNION card?

V-UNION 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 Lightning card do for Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141?

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.

Of the 220 cards in the archive that can remove Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 150 printed damage against a bar of 150.

What has to be in play before Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 can be?

Pikachu V-UNION evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (140 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

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 Pikachu V-UNION print, and can the older ones still be played?

305 prints carry this name in the archive, and 184 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.

37 of the 184 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 was printed next to Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 in SWSH Black Star Promos?

A card is met inside a set, not on its own, and the number on it is the order that set gave it. The cards either side are the ones a collector actually turns past to reach this one.

Which rules apply to Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141, 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

“How to play a Pokémon V-UNION: Once per game during your turn, combine 4 different Pikachu V-UNION from your discard pile and put them onto your Bench. V-UNION rule: When your Pokémon V-UNION is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.”

Which generation of cards does Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 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.

Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 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, Electro Ball Together, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 83 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 441 of 17,290
Lightning cardsNo. 43 of 1,520
V-UNION cardsNo. 13 of 24
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 2,395 cards in one attack.

Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141?

Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 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 strongest attack on Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141?

Electro Ball Together, printed at 250 damage for 3 Energy — 83 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141?

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

Can an older Pikachu V-UNION print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 184 prints listed on this page, 37 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 Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 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 Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 mean?

The card reads “How to play a Pokémon V-UNION: Once per game during your turn, combine 4 different Pikachu V-UNION from your discard pile and put them onto your Bench. V-UNION rule: When your Pokémon V-UNION 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 Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 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.
