Card analysis

Computed from this card's stats and text — not a reposted price.

Setup: Basic; Plays straight down — no evolution needed

Strategy & play

How Reshiram 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 (Blue Flare) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥65 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 Reshiram

Exploit its Water weakness — ≥65 damage one-shots it.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Reshiram is real?

Reshiram 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.
