Petit Moth — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 16 ± 6 · Confidence: Low
- Intrinsic: 21 · Deck: 18 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
Petit Moth is a vanilla Level 1 Insect Normal Monster with 300/200 stats and no effects, whose only meaningful role is as the starting piece for the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth evolution chain requiring Cocoon of Evolution and five turns of on-field survival — a condition that is essentially impossible to fulfill reliably in any competitive context. The 18 deck inclusions are dominated by the Limit 1 Event format (33%), where arbitrary card selection inflates apparent usage, and zero combo appearances confirm this line is never executed in recorded play. Its 300/200 stats and lack of effects earned no score points; the low floor it achieves comes entirely from being a legal Level 1 Insect body that technically enables a named combo.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 15 | Normal Monster in the main deck, technically drawable, but with no confirmed searchers and no archetype membership it is almost always a dead draw outside the specific evolution combo setup (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 10 | The Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth evolution is its only combo path and requires Cocoon of Evolution plus five full turns of survival; the 77.8% co-deck rate with Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth confirms the intended plan, but zero recorded combo appearances prove this line is never practically completed (observed: 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 5 | A Normal Monster with no effects generates zero card advantage and is a pure net-negative card slot whenever drawn without Cocoon of Evolution (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 3 | No effects of any kind — this card provides zero disruption, negation, or interaction on either turn (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 15 | Level 1 Insect body technically usable as material in Insect-synergy strategies, but 300 ATK and no effects make it inferior to virtually every alternative Level 1 option (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 8 | 300/200 stats mean any battle or removal ends this card immediately; with no protective effect and no GY interaction, it has essentially no resilience across any game state (verified from card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 8 | Averages 1.17 copies per deck and is a near-total brick outside the multi-turn evolution combo; 16 of 18 decks run exactly one copy, reflecting the minimal slot cost but also minimal utility (observed from deck distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body primary only, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 21, Deck ≈ 18, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Event-format deck inflation (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 1 Normal Monster — easy to normal-summon with no special requirements
- Insect typing — technically qualifies for Insect-support synergies
- Legal in all four listed formats (TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks)
- Named piece for the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth evolution chain
Weaknesses
- No effects of any kind — pure vanilla body with zero interaction potential
- 300/200 stats are among the lowest in the game and offer no defensive value
- Its only combo path (Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth) requires five full turns of on-field survival, which is practically impossible in competitive play
- Almost universally a garnet or brick when drawn without Cocoon of Evolution already in hand
- No archetype support and no dedicated searchers confirmed in evidence
Counters / choke points
- Any monster with ATK above 300 in battle
- Any destruction or removal effect
- Any effect that prevents Normal Summoning or controls the field before Cocoon of Evolution can equip
Best use
Evolution base for the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth chain. Decks: Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth novelty builds, DuelLinks Limit 1 Event. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster with no effects — card text confirms zero disruption or card advantage; Level 1 Insect, ATK 300 / DEF 200; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, and DuelLinks
- Observed: 18 deck inclusions across 10 archetypes, predominantly DuelLinks format (72.2%); 77.8% co-deck rate with Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth confirms the evolution chain is its intended use pattern; Zero combo board appearances — the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth evolution line is never recorded in real combo evidence
- Inferred: Most deck inclusions appear driven by the Limit 1 Event format rather than organic competitive merit; Functions as a garnet in most opening hands outside the specific evolution combo; Level 1 Insect typing offers minimal material utility for Insect-themed strategies beyond the named combo
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion rates inferred from deck sample only DuelLinks-specific rulings and viability for the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth evolution chain are unknown
