Collector Insights
Blaine is a Trainer card from the Gym series, part of the Gym Challenge set released on October 16, 2000. It is classified as a Rare Holo card and features artwork by Ken Sugimori. The card’s themecolor is a warm orange (#c4984a), aligning with its Fire-type thematic elements. Its rules allow players to attach two Fire Energy cards to a Pokémon with Blaine in its name during their turn, replacing the usual attachment of a free Energy card. This effect applies only once per turn, and additional copies of the card played that turn have no additional impact. The card’s design and function are centered around its unique Energy attachment mechanic. As a Trainer card, it serves as a specialized tool for enhancing Pokémon with specific naming conventions. The absence of traditional Pokémon attributes like HP, types, or attacks underscores its distinct role in the game’s strategy.
