Product Overview

Description

Classified as an Uncommon, this Fire-type Stage 1 Pokémon evolves from Eevee and boasts 90 HP. Designed by Suwama Chiaki, the card utilizes a Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that creates a shimmering, textured effect on the illustration without altering the underlying card rarity. From a gameplay perspective, Flareon offers two distinct moves. The Colorless Sand-Attack deals 20 damage and includes a disruptive effect: if the defending Pokémon attempts to attack during the opponent's next turn, a coin flip determines if that attack is nullified. Alternatively, Fire Slash deals 60 damage, with the option to discard an attached Fire Energy to increase the damage by an additional 30 points. With a retreat cost of just one colorless energy, this Pokémon is designed for aggressive playstyles that require quick positioning. As a Reverse Holo, this print style is highly visible and adds a premium aesthetic to any collection. The card's mechanics allow it to serve as a versatile asset in competitive decks, balancing disruption with high damage output. Whether you are building a Fire-type strategy or simply expanding your Pokédex collection, this card represents a solid piece of Pokémon TCG history. The combination of strategic depth and visual appeal makes this Flareon a standout addition to any binder.
