Retreating costs a further 3 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

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.

Wood Drain 2 Energy60 damage for 2 Energy — 30 per Energy card60
Raging Repeated Strike 3 Energy120 damage for 3 Energy — 40 per Energy card120

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (120).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Raging Repeated Strike is printed as 120+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Rillaboom SWSH277 compare with every other card?

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.

Is Rillaboom SWSH277 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 120 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Rillaboom SWSH277 strong for a Rapid Strike card?

Rapid Strike 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 Grass card do for Rillaboom SWSH277?

What has to be in play before Rillaboom SWSH277 can be?

Rillaboom evolves from Thwackey, 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 Thwackey.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (190 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.

Back to summary

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

20 prints carry this name in the archive, and 18 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 (330 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

18 rows are shown of the 20 prints counted under this name.

Which rules apply to Rillaboom SWSH277, 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.

Rulebook clauses that apply to Rillaboom SWSH277
Clause	What the rulebook says	Cards it applies to	Share of the archive

Rillaboom SWSH277 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, Raging Repeated Strike, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 40 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Thwackey has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 2,218 of 17,290

Grass cardsNo. 226 of 2,387

Stage 2 cardsNo. 301 of 1,749

SWSH Black Star PromosNo. 138 of 292

What actually removes it

A Fire attack printed at 90 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 180 HP.
517 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,824 cards in one attack.

Rillaboom SWSH277 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Rillaboom SWSH277?

Rillaboom SWSH277 has 180 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 90 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 180.

What is the strongest attack on Rillaboom SWSH277?

Raging Repeated Strike, printed at 120 damage for 3 Energy — 40 damage per Energy card. Discard any amount of Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 30 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.

What is the retreat cost of Rillaboom SWSH277?

3 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 Raging Repeated Strike mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Discard any amount of Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 30 more damage for each card you discarded in this way."

Can an older Rillaboom print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 18 prints listed on this page, 1 is 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 Rillaboom evolve from?

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

Can Rillaboom SWSH277 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.

Does this page say how good Rillaboom SWSH277 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.
