What do the attacks on Golurk 43 cost, and what do they hit for?

The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 5 Energy and returns 200 damage, which is 40 damage for every Energy card attached.

Golurk 43 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Double Smash	3 Colorless	3	80×	27	Flip 2 coins. This attack does 80 damage for each heads.
Golurk Hammer	2 Psychic + 3 Colorless	5	200	40	No extra effect.

Retreating costs a further 4 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Double Smash3 Energy cards

Golurk Hammer5 Energy cards

What each 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.

Double Smash 3 Energy80 damage for 3 Energy — 27 per Energy card80
Golurk Hammer 5 Energy200 damage for 5 Energy — 40 per Energy card200

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (200).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Double Smash is printed as 80×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Is Golurk 43 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 200 damage attack that needs 5 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

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 200 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Psychic card do for Golurk 43?

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 Golurk 43 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 456 cards in the archive that can remove Golurk 43 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, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Golurkweak to Darkness ×2

Golurkresists Fighting -30

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.

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

Golurk 43 is one print of Golurk. 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.

Golurk has been printed 18 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.

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.

What has to be in play before Golurk 43 can be?

Golurk evolves from Golett, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

The Golurk line, oldest stage first

Golett12 prints on record · Noble Victories

+60 HP · +140 damage

Golurk12 prints on record · Boundaries Crossed

Golett → Golurk

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Golett.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (160 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.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Golurk print, and can the older ones still be played?

18 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.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (220 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

4 of the 18 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.

8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.

The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Golurk 43 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, Golurk Hammer, needs 5 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 5 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 40 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 — Golett has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

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

Psychic cardsNo. 352 of 2,334

Stage 1 cardsNo. 447 of 5,102

Black BoltNo. 28 of 162

What actually removes it

A Darkness attack printed at 80 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 160 HP.
457 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,822 cards in one attack.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Golurk 43 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Golurk 43?

Golurk 43 has 160 HP and a Darkness weakness at ×2, so a Darkness 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 Golurk 43?

Golurk Hammer, printed at 200 damage for 5 Energy — 40 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Golurk 43?

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

What does the × after the damage on Double Smash mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is dealt once for each thing the sentence on the card counts. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Flip 2 coins. This attack does 80 damage for each heads."

Can an older Golurk print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 18 prints listed on this page, 4 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 Golurk evolve from?

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

Can Golurk 43 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark I. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Golurk 43 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.
