Strategy & play
How Pupitar plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting 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.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Larvitar; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Pupitar
- Exploit its Water weakness — ≥35 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Pupitar is real?
Pupitar 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.
