Flareon

Description

The 2023 Pokémon 151 set revitalized the franchise's legacy by reprinting the original 151 Pokémon in a modern format, and card number 136 highlights Flareon, the final evolution of Eevee. As a Stage 1 Fire-type Pokémon, this card serves as a vital component for collectors and players building around the iconic fire starter line. The Reverse Holo finish adds a distinct visual appeal that distinguishes it from the standard rare version, making it a sought-after piece for those completing the set or seeking specific parallel treatments. In terms of gameplay mechanics, Flareon brings 130 HP to the battlefield, offering durability against aggressive opponents. Its attack, Fire Destructive Flame, allows players to flip a coin to discard an Energy from the opponent's Active Pokémon, providing strategic disruption. The second attack, Blaze, delivers 90 plus damage if the opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon ex or Pokémon V, showcasing its role in modern competitive formats. The card is illustrated by Ryota Murayama, whose work defines the visual identity of this release. Flareon's inclusion appeals to fans of the Eevee evolution family, particularly those interested in Fire-type strategies. The card's regulation mark G ensures it remains legal in current play, bridging the gap between nostalgic collecting and active tournament use. Whether you are hunting for the Reverse Holo variant or simply appreciate the design of this classic Pokémon, this card represents a significant entry in the 2023 lineup.
