Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Dark Mountain	5 Darkness	5	150+	30	Discard the top 2 cards of your deck. This attack does 50 more damage for each Supporter card discarded in this way.

Retreating costs a further 4 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Dark Mountain5 Energy cards

The Energy this 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.

Dark Mountain 5 Energy150 damage for 5 Energy — 30 per Energy card150

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (150).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

Dark Mountain is printed as 150+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

What Tyranitar 56 does without attacking

Tyranitar 56 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Raging Roar — Ability

When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may attach 1 Darkness Energy from your discard pile to this Pokémon for each Prize card your opponent has taken.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

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.

Is Tyranitar 56 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 150 damage attack that needs 5 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 150 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Darkness card do for Tyranitar 56?

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.

What knocks out Tyranitar 56 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 80 printed damage rather than 160.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 651 cards in the archive that can remove Tyranitar 56 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 80 printed damage against a bar of 80. 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.

Tyranitarweak to Fighting ×2

Tyranitarresists Psychic -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic 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.

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.

8 of the 44 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 can you use instead of Tyranitar 56?

Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

Cards that fill the same slot as Tyranitar 56

This card itself is 160 HP, 150 top damage and 4 retreat, and every card here is Darkness like it.

Every card below carries the same Pokédex number as this one, so they are the same Pokémon printed as different cards — different stages, different mechanics and different names all sit in this group.

Which rules apply to Tyranitar 56, 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 Tyranitar 56
Clause	What the rulebook says	Cards it applies to	Share of the archive
Weakness	Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card.	16,744 cards	81.9%
Retreat	Retreat your Active Pokemon (only once per turn).	17,244 cards	84.3%
Energy per turn	You can attach Energy just once each turn!	17,180 cards	84.0%

Counted across 20,444 English cards. A clause applies to this card because the card carries the property the clause names, not because we judged it to.

Tyranitar 56 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, Dark Mountain, needs 5 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 5 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 4 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Pupitar has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 2,895 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 303 of 1,248

Stage 2 cardsNo. 455 of 1,749

Fates CollideNo. 22 of 100

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 80 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 160 HP.
655 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 907 cards in one attack.
Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Tyranitar 56 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Tyranitar 56?

Tyranitar 56 has 160 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 80 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 160.

What is the strongest attack on Tyranitar 56?

Dark Mountain, printed at 150 damage for 5 Energy — 30 damage per Energy card. Discard the top 2 cards of your deck. This attack does 50 more damage for each Supporter card discarded in this way.

What is the retreat cost of Tyranitar 56?

4 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 Dark Mountain 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 the top 2 cards of your deck. This attack does 50 more damage for each Supporter card discarded in this way."

Can an older Tyranitar print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 44 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.

What does Tyranitar evolve from?

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

Can Tyranitar 56 be played in a tournament?

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

Does this page say how good Tyranitar 56 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.
