What do the attacks on Noivern 77 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boomburst | 1 Psychic + 1 Darkness + 1 Colorless | 3 | — | — | This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
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.
Back to summaryHow does Noivern 77 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.

Back to summaryWhat Noivern 77 does without attacking
Noivern 77 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.
What does being a Dragon card do for Noivern 77?
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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |
| Water | 14.1% | 2,435 cards |
| Colorless | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |

| Dragon — this card | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Dragon weakness.
What being a Dragon card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Dragon weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Dragon cards are themselves most exposed to Fairy.
What knocks out Noivern 77 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Fairy attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 50 printed damage rather than 100.
50 damage becomes 100 against this card
Noivern 77100 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 95 cards in the archive that can remove Noivern 77 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits.
Read from the weakness printed in the lower-left corner of the card.
| Card | Set | HP | Printed damage | After weakness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX (130) | Unbroken Bonds | 260 | 200 | 400 |
| Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX (204) | Unbroken Bonds | 260 | 200 | 400 |

| Xerneas ◇ (144) | Lost Thunder | 160 | 160 | 320 |
| Xerneas-EX (97) | Celebrations: Classic Collection | 170 | 140 | 280 |
100 HP against a Fairy ×2 weakness means any Fairy attack printed at 50 damage or more is enough. 96 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Noivern as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Noivern 77 is one print of Noivern. 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 Noivern 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 Noivern 77 can be?
Noivern evolves from Noibat, 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 Noibat.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn 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 Noivern print, and can the older ones still be played?
30 prints carry this name in the archive, and 21 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.
21 rows are shown of the 30 prints counted under this name.

8 of the 21 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.
