Collector Insights
Magcargo is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy. It belongs to the E-Card series, released as part of the Skyridge set on May 12, 2003, and is numbered 18 in its set. The card is classified as Rare and was illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. Magcargo possesses a unique Poké-Power ability called Streaming Mantle, which allows the player to discard the top three cards of their deck and shuffle three basic Energy cards from their discard pile into their deck when evolving Magcargo from their hand. If this action is taken, the opponent must perform the same maneuver. The Pokémon’s primary attack, Crushing Lava, costs one Fighting and two Colorless Energy, dealing 40 damage plus additional effects based on discarded Energy cards. Discarding a Fire Energy card here inflicts the Burned status on the defending Pokémon, while discarding a Fighting Energy card increases the attack’s damage by 20. Magcargo has a Water weakness that multiplies damage by two, making it vulnerable to Water-type attacks.
