#12 Moltres - Fossil (base3)
Moltres is a Fire-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It is part of the Base series, released in the Fossil set on October 10, 1999, and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The card’s artist is Mitsuhiro Arita, and its themecolor is a warm orange-brown (#c28757). Moltres has a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30. Its attacks include Wildfire, which costs one Fire Energy and allows the player to discard Fire Energy cards attached to Moltres, then discard that many cards from the opponent’s deck. The second attack, Dive Bomb, requires four Fire Energy and deals 80 damage, but has a 50% chance to do nothing if a coin flip results in tails. The card’s flavor text describes it as a legendary bird of fire, whose wings create dazzling flashes of flames. Moltres is numbered 12 in the set and corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 146.
