Back to summaryWhat Delphox BREAK 14 does without attacking
Delphox BREAK 14 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
Why this sits apart from the attacks
An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.
Flare Witch can only be used once a turn
The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.
What does being a Fire card do for Delphox BREAK 14?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.

| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |
| Water | 14.1% | 2,435 cards |

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Fire weakness.
What being a Fire card is worth
Groups that most often print a Fire weakness: Grass (2,387 cards) and Metal (925 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double.
What is Delphox BREAK as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Delphox BREAK 14 is one print of Delphox BREAK. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.
Every Delphox BREAK print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Delphox BREAK 14 can be?
Delphox BREAK evolves from Delphox, 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 Delphox.
- The line runs 4 stages, so the first card has to be in play 3 turns before this one can be.
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 Delphox BREAK print, and can the older ones still be played?
13 prints carry this name in the archive, and 11 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.

5 of the 11 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.
