Attacker

Strategy & play

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

Not a main attacker — its job is energy acceleration. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 2 copies.

How to beat Delibird

Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Delibird is real?

Delibird 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.

What is Delibird worth?
