#35 Dark Flareon - Team Rocket (base5)
Dark Flareon is a Fire-type Pokémon with 50 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Rage, which deals 10 damage plus 10 more for each damage counter on the Pokémon, and Playing with Fire, a Fire-type attack requiring two Fire Energy cards that flips a coin to determine additional damage or discard an Energy card. The card’s flavor text describes a Pokémon with an uncontrollable temper capable of exhaling flames exceeding 3000° Celsius. It has no resistances and is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card was released in the Team Rocket set as part of the Base series in April 2000. Its design is attributed to artist Mitsuhiro Arita, and the color scheme aligns with the Fire type’s thematic palette. Dark Flareon’s unique mechanics emphasize its volatile nature through conditional damage effects.
