Its Ability

Fire Recharge

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, attach a Fire Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Fire Pokémon. This power can't be used if Typhlosion is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Flame Burst

60+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage and does 20 damage to Typhlosion. If tails, this attack does 60 damage.

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

    100 HP. Only 2 cards in Neo Genesis carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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 Quilava to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. 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

Neo Genesis landed here on 16 December 2000.
