Its Ability

Whenever you attach a Fire Energy card from your hand to Blaine's Ninetales, remove 1 damage counter from it, if it has any. This power stops working when Blaine's Ninetales is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Burn Up

50

Flip a coin. If tails, discard all Fire Energy cards attached to Blaine's Ninetales.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Burn Up hits for 50 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Gym Challenge hits harder for that price.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Healing Fire. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,351 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon
