What is a good amount of energies for a move that can deal 110 damage with no side effects?

Question

I have a card which requires 5 energies to deal 110 damage. Is it worth it to waste 5 energies on it?

Answer 1

It actually depends if its the only attack it has but I would use it. Its worth it for me. you can use it as a last resort attack for the final prize card or just knock out the Pokemon and you opponent doesnt have bench Pokemon and win.

Answer 2

It really depends on the secondary effect of the attack but if it is just a straight out 100 damage then no. There are a lot more powerful cards that cost less energy. Plasma Gale's Infernape will have a two for 120. So I would say it is not worth it as that is not a very powerful attack for that high of energy.
