#198 Magcargo-GX - Lost Thunder (sm8)

Magcargo-GX is a Fire-type Pokémon with 210 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy. It possesses the Crushing Charge ability, allowing the player to discard the top deck card and attach a basic Energy to a Pokémon if it’s a basic Energy card. The card’s attacks include Lava Flow, which costs two Fire and one Colorless Energy to deal 50+ damage, increasing by 50 for each basic Energy discarded from the Pokémon. Burning Magma-GX requires one Fire Energy and discards the opponent’s top five deck cards, though only one GX attack can be used per game. The card has no resistances but is weak to Water, suffering double damage from such attacks. A rule states that if Magcargo-GX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, released in November 2018, as part of the Lost Thunder set. Designed by 5ban Graphics, this Rare Ultra card highlights its thematic focus on volcanic and fiery elements through its mechanics and artwork.
