Description
The Pokémon Legends Awakened set, released in 2008, offers a distinct chapter in the trading card game's history, and card number 41 stands out as a strategic asset for Fire-type decks. This Rare card features Torkoal, a Fire-type Pokémon known for its unique defensive capabilities. Illustrated by Midori Harada, the card depicts the creature with its signature coal-burning shell, capturing the essence of its Pokédex entry. In gameplay, Torkoal serves as a reliable Basic Pokémon with 80 HP. Its White Smoke ability is particularly valuable, preventing all effects and damage to Benched Pokémon from opponent attacks while Torkoal remains Active. This defensive utility makes it a staple for players looking to protect their roster. For its attack, FireColorless Black Soot, players flip a coin; on heads, the Defending Pokémon becomes both Burned and Paralyzed, offering significant disruption. The card requires 2 Colorless energy to retreat, balancing its offensive potential with defensive utility. The combination of strategic gameplay and classic design makes this card a worthy addition to any serious collection.
