What Keldeo XY118 does without attacking

Keldeo XY118 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Justified — Ability

This Pokémon's attacks do 50 more damage to your opponent's Darkness Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

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.

Is Keldeo XY118 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

Keldeo XY118 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, Sacred Sword, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 33 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

What actually removes it

A Grass attack printed at 45 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 90 HP.
880 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,511 cards in one attack.

Keldeo XY118 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Keldeo XY118?

Keldeo XY118 has 90 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 45 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 90.

What is the retreat cost of Keldeo XY118?

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

Can an older Keldeo print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 22 prints listed on this page, 8 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.

Can Keldeo XY118 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 Keldeo XY118 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.
