Blaziken ex

Description

The 2006 Pokémon Crystal Guardians release features Blaziken ex as card #90, a Rare Holo EX card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. This Fighting-type Pokémon serves as the Stage 2 evolution of Combusken, bringing a distinct power level to the game with its 150 HP capacity. The card’s design includes two primary attacks that define its strategic role. The first, FightingColorless Drag Off 30, allows the trainer to choose one of their opponent's Benched Pokémon and switch it with one of the Defending Pokémon before damage is dealt. This mechanic provides significant tactical flexibility during matches. The second attack, FireFightingColorless Burn Away 100, offers a high-risk, high-reward option. Before dealing damage, the player must count the remaining HP of the Defending Pokémon; if that Pokémon is Knocked Out by this attack, Blaziken ex takes damage to itself equal to the damage dealt. This self-damage clause adds a layer of complexity to its usage. With a retreat cost of 2, the card requires careful resource management but remains a formidable presence in play. As part of the Crystal Guardians set, this card represents a pivotal moment in the trading card game's history. The Rare Holo EX finish ensures it stands out in any collection, making it a sought-after item for those looking to complete the set or add a powerful Fighting-type to their roster. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a display of classic Pokémon cards, Blaziken ex #90 is a notable addition to any assortment.
