Strategy & play

How Darumaka 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.
  • Inflicts Burn — 20 damage between turns, then a coin flip to clear it. Chip damage with a coin-flip tail.
  • Its main attack (Rollout) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
  • Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥35 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 Darumaka

  • Exploit its Water weakness — ≥35 damage one-shots it.
  • On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Darumaka is real?

Darumaka 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.
