Collector Insights

Blaine is a Trainer card from the Gym series, released in the Gym Challenge set on October 16, 2000. It is classified as a Rare card and features artwork by Ken Sugimori. The card’s themecolor is a warm orange, matching its thematic association with fire. Its rules describe a unique ability allowing players to attach two Fire Energy cards to a Pokémon named Blaine during their turn, replacing the usual attachment of a single Energy card. This effect applies only once per turn and cannot be used with additional copies of the card played during the same turn. The card does not include any listed types, resistances, weaknesses, or retreat costs. It also lacks specific attack details or HP values, focusing instead on its Trainer-specific function. This card remains a notable part of the Gym Challenge set’s design.
