Description
Released in 2015 as part of the Pokémon Ancient Origins expansion, this card features Volcarona, a Stage 1 Fire-type Pokémon with 100 HP. Designed by Kyoko Umemoto, the card carries the AOR set code and card number 17. As a Holo Rare, it offers a distinct finish that appeals to collectors building the Ancient Origins series. Volcarona evolves from Larvesta and brings strategic value to gameplay. Its Colorless Solar Birth attack allows players to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and place it on the Bench, followed by attaching up to two basic Energy cards to that Pokémon. The FireColorless Flamethrower attack deals 60 damage but requires discarding an attached Energy. With a retreat cost of only one colorless energy, Volcarona provides versatile mobility. For collectors, the Ancient Origins set represents a significant era in the Pokémon TCG history. This Volcarona card is frequently sought after by those completing the set or focusing on Fire-type collections. The combination of its holo treatment, specific card number, and useful attacks makes it a notable item for trading card game enthusiasts. Whether adding to a personal archive or trading with fellow hobbyists, this card holds a firm place in the Ancient Origins catalog.
