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

    320 HP. Only 4 cards in Phantasmal Flames carry more.

  2. A strength

    Iron Feathers hits for 210 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Phantasmal Flames hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    It has an Ability, Emperor's Stance. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  4. A strength

    Steven's Metagross ex runs it in 52 of the 64 lists we have read, seen across 51 different tournaments.

  5. A strength

    Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  7. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Prinplup to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  8. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 1,241 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
