Flareon V

Description

The Flareon V SWSH149 Holo Promo represents a pivotal entry in the 2019 SWSH Black Star Promos series, designed by 5ban Graphics for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Basic Pokémon card, it carries 210 Hit Points and belongs to the Fire type, offering a robust presence in gameplay. The card features a Holo finish that catches the light, making it a visually striking addition to any collection focused on the Sword & Shield era. In terms of gameplay mechanics, this card provides strategic utility through its attack options. The Colorless Flaming Breath attack deals 20 damage and includes a powerful effect: the player can search their deck for a Fire Energy card, attach it to Flareon V, and then shuffle their deck. This ability helps maintain resource flow during matches. Alternatively, the Scorching Column attack deals 120 damage and applies the Burned status to the opponent's Active Pokémon, adding a layer of disruption to the game. With a retreat cost of two Colorless energy, Flareon V requires careful energy management but rewards players with significant offensive potential. The SWSH149 catalog number identifies this iteration within the broader Black Star Promos collection. For enthusiasts building comprehensive sets of promotional cards or seeking high-power V cards from the Sword & Shield expansion, this promo stands out as a key component. The combination of the character's popularity, the V-series power level, and the exclusive promo status makes it a staple for serious TCG hobbyists looking to complete their portfolios.
