#218 Magcargo-GX - Lost Thunder (sm8)

Magcargo-GX is a Fire-type Pokémon with 210 HP, part of the Sun & Moon series released in the Lost Thunder set on November 2, 2018. It has a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy and is classified as a Rare Rainbow card. The card features an ability called Crushing Charge, which allows the player to discard the top card of their deck once per turn, attaching a basic Energy card to one of their Pokémon if it meets the criteria. Its primary attack, Lava Flow, costs two Fire and one Colorless Energy, dealing 50+ damage plus additional damage based on the number of basic Energy cards discarded during the attack. The secondary attack, Burning Magma-GX, requires a single Fire Energy and forces the opponent to discard the top five cards of their deck, though this GX attack can only be used once per game. The card also includes a rule stating that if Magcargo-GX is knocked out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. It is depicted by artist 5ban Graphics and has a Water weakness that multiplies damage by two.
