Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |

Back to summaryIs M Gengar-EX 35 strong for a MEGA card?
MEGA 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.
The group is every MEGA card in the archive — 207 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.
What does being a Psychic card do for M Gengar-EX 35?
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 |

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Psychic weakness.
What being a Psychic card is worth
Groups that most often print a Psychic weakness: Psychic (2,335 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Psychic cards are themselves most exposed to Darkness.
What knocks out M Gengar-EX 35 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Darkness attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 110 printed damage rather than 220.

M Gengar-EX 35220 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 279 cards in the archive that can remove M Gengar-EX 35 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 110 printed damage against a bar of 110. 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.
Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.
What the Fighting resistance changes
Damage from Fighting 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.
| Card | Set | HP | Printed damage | After weakness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (126) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (225) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (226) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (245) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Drapion VSTAR (119) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
| Drapion VSTAR (200) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
220 HP against a Darkness ×2 weakness means any Darkness attack printed at 110 damage or more is enough. 280 cards in the archive clear that bar.

Which rules apply to M Gengar-EX 35, 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
“Mega Evolution rule: When 1 of your Pokémon becomes a Mega Evolution Pokémon, your turn ends. Pokémon-EX rule: When a Pokémon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”
Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out
Every knockout carries the opponent 2 steps closer to winning, and that is the cost of putting this card on the field whatever it cost to buy.
| 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% |

M Gengar-EX 35 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
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Gengar-EX has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Darkness attack printed at 110 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 220 HP.
- 280 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
