ok, straight out the instruction booklet page 22.
[b]card ability points[/b]
Every card has a set of numbers and letters that represents the strength of the card,which comes into play during card battles.Generally,the higher the number,the stronger the card.Try to figure out the effect of numbers and letters on each card.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the way i understand it, the higer the #, the stronger da card, and the higher the letter(where it is in da alphabet),the stronger da card.Like,
02A0
0+2+0=2
a is the 1st letter so a=1 so
2+1=3
the card power->3
