What is the Maximum Amount of Damage A Pokemon Can Deal?

I was using a M-Charizard Y EX against Aegislash EX, and dealt a whopping 600 in one hit. So, that got me thinking. How much damage can a single Pokemon deal in one hit?
 
Yveltal EX with a muscle band, 4 DCE, and 54 dakness energy attacking a Gengar EX with 4 DCE and 55 energy attached. Equals 5040 damage if my math is correct. Because Gengar EX is weak to Dark

That's impossible due to the fact of you having 6 prizes and a 7 card hand
Besides 1 Mewtwo with + 47 psychic vs 1 Mewtwo with 44 psychic
Each side has Gardevoir in play and one side has a Vileplume

Can't calc rn in bed
 
Well... Technically Magikarp DRX can deal the most.

Or any of the dozens of cards with that effect.

Magikarp severely outclasses all of the other ones due to multiple factors including the low HP and the cool attack name.

Yes...

However, in this format, it is dead before it can attack if Laserbank is set up. Since you can still play trainer cards on the first turn, the pokemon on the other side of the active position may or may not have to attack anyway to KO one 30 HP Pokemon, as its player could do the job for it, and potentially win the match(assuming the 30 HP player is so unlucky, that he/she does has to go second, and fails to draw more than just the 30 HP pokemon on the starting 7-card hand, and runs out of pokemon in play before he/she even gets a turn to do something about it) in one turn...

Anyway, BTT...

The card that can do the next-highest damage possible, even if it's based on flips, is:

^ Or, in the case you don't count luck as a reliable factor into damage:

^ + 4 BCR Altarias, + 1 Muscle Band + BCR Vileplume can do the most damage: 1600, if M-Charizard-EX(X)'s attack is used against a pre-XY dragon...

So, you expect me to be running a non-Spirit Link Mega that discards the top 5 of your deck, alongside 4 Stage 1's and a Stage 2?

No.

I did not say that...

I know that damage that high has to have drawbacks, or else it's broken... In that case, the drawbacks are too much to guarantee a good game in your favor should that card be used.

^ What I am saying is this: If you want insanely-high numbers, don't expect your deck to win most of your matches. In fact, going for numbers is a fruitless endeavor: Good decks go for just enough to KO the pokemon: 100-250 via any special means is just enough to KO, although that number can be adjusted based on the situation...

This isn't a thread about viability but rather about the max amount of damage possible. :p
 
Rayqueza EX with a single lightning energy and discarding 52 fire energy while attacking a dragon weak pokemon. 6240 damage. thats taking into consideration prizes.
 
Assuming no flips, because then the answer is obvious, AlexanderTheAwesome got it mostly right. If both sides have Gardevoir DEX in play and one side has Vileplume BCR in play, Mewtwo vs Mewtwo (or something with a psychic weakness) leads to the most damage dealt. The problem with this technique is that you'll end up decking out before attaching all of your energy and that you prize six energy each. I think if you use a combination of Lysandre's Trump Card and Vs Seeker, along with having another Pokémon on both sides to get constantly knocked out so that each player can get prizes, you'll end up being able to attach all the energy if each player draws perfectly (would also require a float stone on each side so that Mewtwo can retreat to the other Pokémon so it can be knocked out, but the payoff is still worth it). You'd also use an Iris on the attacker's side because that adds 200 damage as opposed to the 160 added for each energy.

With all of that, you'd end up attaching 49 energy to one side, and 51 energy to the other, + the Iris on the attacking side, leading to (((49*2)+(51*2))*4*20)+200 which leads to a whopping 16200 damage. Someone correct me if I did my math wrong, sort of rushed through it.
 
I think my reasoning might have been slightly off actually--you might have to add an Ultra Ball to the side that isn't using Vs Seeker/Trump Card so that it can continuously discard the rare candies (which are used in the beginning of the game to get the stage 2's up). Pretty sure that side ends up decking before it can get all the energy out otherwise.
 
Realistically in TCG game? Probably 1080 with Tool drop against a mirror match up.

Apart from that, it'll be impossible to do an insane amount due to the issue of luck in having the right cards at the right time. Plus, I doubt you'll be able to pull off 51 energy on ONE Pokemon...
 
There is nothing realistic about this thread at all. No one said these situations would actually ever occur.
 
We're discussing how much a Pokémon CAN deal (barring flips of course), not how much it will deal in an actual game.

I would like to point out the situation I described DID occur, pics were posted on Virbank City a long time ago
 
However, it is insinuated in your post that there could potentially a possibility in dealing this much damage. In any case, it's unrealistic to have anything above 300 anyway.
