Description
Typhlosion #28, released as part of the Expedition Base Set in 2002, stands as a definitive Stage 2 Fire-type card for Pokémon Trading Card Game collectors. Designed by K. Hoshiba, this reverse holo rare carries 100 HP and evolves from Quilava, offering a solid foundation for fire-themed decks. The card’s gameplay revolves around its Heat Up ability, which allows players to count the total Energy attached to all Pokémon on the field to determine attack power, paired with the Super Singe attack that can burn the opponent's active Pokémon. For investors and set builders, the Expedition Base Set holds a nostalgic place in early 2000s TCG history. The reverse holo finish provides a distinct visual appeal compared to standard foils, making it a favorite for those seeking variety in their collections. While the card does not feature autograph authentication or memorabilia elements, its status as a rare parallel within the EX set code ensures it remains a key piece for completing the full Expedition checklist. Collectors often seek out this Typhlosion card to round out their Base Set expansions or to trade with other enthusiasts who specialize in Fire-type Pokémon. The combination of its classic artwork style and practical in-game mechanics makes it a staple for both competitive players and casual hobbyists. Whether you are building a nostalgic collection or hunting for rare parallels, Typhlosion #28 represents a significant entry in the Pokémon TCG catalog.

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may count the total number of Energy cards attached to all of your Pokémon and all of your opponent's Pokémon. If your opponent has more total Energy cards attached, you may search your deck for 1 Fire Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Benched Pokémon, if any. Shuffle your deck afterward.
