Torkoal is a Fire-type Pokémon with 90 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy cards. It features two attacks: Flame Cloak, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage and has a 50% chance to attach a Fire Energy card from the discard pile, and Heat Blast, requiring Fire and two Colorless energies to deal 60 damage. The card’s flavor text describes it as burning coal for energy and expelling black soot when threatened. It has no resistances and is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. Torkoal appears in the Black & White series, specifically the Dark Explorers set, released in May 2012. The artwork was created by artist Masakazu Fukuda, and the card is classified as Uncommon rarity. Its design aligns with the series’ thematic focus on exploration and elemental interactions.
