Its attacks

Rushing Flames

80×

Discard as many Fire Energy cards as you like attached to your Pokémon in play. Flip a coin for each Energy card you discarded. This attack does 80 damage times the number of heads.

Rage

30+

Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Infernape.

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

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    Rushing Flames hits for 80 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Platinum hits harder for that price.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water +30. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 1,533 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.

When it came out

Platinum landed here on 11 February 2009.
