What do the attacks on Raticate BREAK 89 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Fang | 2 Colorless | 2 | — | — | Put damage counters on your opponent's Active Pokémon until its remaining HP is 10. |
This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.
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.
This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage
Super Fang puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

Back to summaryWhat does being a Colorless card do for Raticate BREAK 89?
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 |

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.
What is Raticate BREAK as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Raticate BREAK 89 is one print of Raticate BREAK. 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 Raticate BREAK 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 Raticate BREAK 89 can be?
Raticate BREAK evolves from Raticate, 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 Raticate.
- 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 020.
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 Raticate BREAK print, and can the older ones still be played?
30 prints carry this name in the archive. 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.

4 of the 30 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.
