Is Dragonite 52 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

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 Dragon card do for Dragonite 52?

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 Dragonite 52 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 80 printed damage rather than 160.

Of the 55 cards in the archive that can remove Dragonite 52 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.

What is Dragonite as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Dragonite 52 is one print of Dragonite. 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.

Dragonite has been printed 55 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Dragonite 52 can be?

Dragonite evolves from Dragonair, 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 Dragonair.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 149.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (180 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

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 Dragonite print, and can the older ones still be played?

55 prints carry this name in the archive, and 45 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.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (370 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

12 of the 45 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.

Dragonite 52 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, Heavy Impact, 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 — Dragonair has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

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

Dragon cardsNo. 217 of 530

Stage 2 cardsNo. 455 of 1,749

Roaring SkiesNo. 19 of 92

What actually removes it

A Fairy attack printed at 80 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 160 HP.
55 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 87 cards in one attack.

Dragonite 52 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Dragonite 52?

Dragonite 52 has 160 HP and a Fairy weakness at ×2, so a Fairy 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 Dragonite 52?

Heavy Impact, printed at 150 damage for 5 Energy — 30 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Dragonite 52?

4 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Dragonite print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 45 prints listed on this page, 12 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 Dragonite evolve from?

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

Can Dragonite 52 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 Dragonite 52 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.
