#2 Chimchar - DP Black Star Promos (dpp)
Chimchar is a Fire-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. It includes two attacks: Scratch, which deals 10 damage without requiring energy, and Ember, a more powerful move that costs Fire and Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage. The Ember attack also includes a secondary effect where flipping a coin results in discarding a Fire Energy if tails. Chimchar’s weaknesses make it vulnerable to Water-type attacks, which deal an additional 10 damage. The card is part of the Diamond & Pearl series, released as a Promo rarity in the DP Black Star Promos set on May 1, 2007. Artist Kagemaru Himeno designed the card, and its flavor text describes the Pokémon’s habit of scaling cliffs and its tendency for fire to extinguish during sleep. The card’s simplicity in mechanics and strategic versatility aligns with its role in early-game play.
