Strategy & play
How Celebi 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 (Psychic Leaf) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥25 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Seen in 3% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.
How to beat Celebi
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥25 damage one-shots it.

About this card
"When Celebi disappears deep in a forest, it is said to leave behind an egg it brought from the future."
GGPsychic Leaf — 10+
Flip a coin for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each heads. Remove a number of damage counters from Celebi equal to the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance). If Celebi has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.

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