| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |

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 Whismur 83 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 does being a Colorless card do for Whismur 83?
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 — this card | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |

| Dragon | 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 Colorless weakness.
What being a Colorless card is worth
No group in the archive most often prints a Colorless weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Colorless cards are themselves most exposed to Fighting.
What knocks out Whismur 83 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 30 printed damage rather than 60.
30 damage becomes 60 against this card
Whismur 8360 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 1,430 cards in the archive that can remove Whismur 83 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 30. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Lucario ex (77) | Mega Evolution | 340 | 270 | 540 |

| Toxtricity ex (100) | Paradox Rift | 260 | 270 | 540 |
60 HP against a Fighting ×2 weakness means any Fighting attack printed at 30 damage or more is enough. 1,446 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Whismur as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Whismur 83 is one print of Whismur. 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 Whismur 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 Whismur 83 can be?
Whismur evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- It is not the end of the line either — Loudred evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
- The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 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 Whismur print, and can the older ones still be played?
14 prints carry this name in the archive, and 12 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.
12 rows are shown of the 14 prints counted under this name.

1 of the 12 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.
