#59 Rapidash - Diamond & Pearl (dp1)
Rapidash is a Fire-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a design inspired by its Pokémon Dex number 78. Its artwork is illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, capturing the essence of the fiery creature. The card includes two attacks: "Overrun" costs two Colorless Energy to deal 20 damage and inflicts 10 damage to a Benched opponent Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance. "Blaze Up" requires Fire and Colorless Energy, dealing 50 damage while flipping a coin to potentially discard a Fire Energy and damage all Benched opponent Pokémon. The card has no resistances but is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal 20 more damage. It belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series, released in May 2007, and is classified as Uncommon rarity. The flavor text describes Rapidash as a swift, fiery creature capable of reaching speeds near 150 mph, with a mane that burns like an arrow. This card emphasizes its aggressive playstyle through its attack options and elemental vulnerabilities.
