#12 Flareon - Dark Explorers (bw5)

Flareon is a Fire-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featured in the Black & White series' Dark Explorers set released on May 9, 2012. Designed by Suwama Chiaki, this Uncommon card number 12 boasts a flavor text describing its ability to heat inhaled air to over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit in its flame sac. Its attacks include Sand-Attack, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and disrupts the opponent's next turn by forcing a coin flip, and Fire Slash, requiring Fire and two Colorless energies to deal 60+ damage with an optional 30 bonus if Fire Energy is discarded. The card has no resistances but is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. With a retreat cost of one Colorless energy, Flareon offers strategic versatility in gameplay. This card’s design emphasizes its fiery attributes and tactical flexibility through its dual attack options.
