Attacker

Strategy & play

How Cresselia plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
Its main attack (Moonlight Gain) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Psychic type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.

How to beat Cresselia

Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Cresselia is real?

Cresselia is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
