Collector Insights

Volcanion is a Fire-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series as part of the Crown Zenith set released on January 20, 2023. Designed by artist Shiburingaru, this Rare Holo card highlights a Pokémon with a unique aesthetic and thematic connection to volcanic activity. Its flavor text describes a creature that expels internal steam from its back, capable of generating enough power to destroy mountains. Volcanion has a retreat cost of three Colorless energy, requiring players to manage resources carefully during battles. The card includes two attacks: "Hammer In," which costs two Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, and "Hydro Burn," a more powerful move that costs two Fire and one Colorless energy to strike for 80 damage plus an additional 80 if the Pokémon has attached Water Energy. This latter ability emphasizes the interaction between Fire and Water types, creating a strategic layer in gameplay. Volcanion’s only weakness is to Water attacks, which deal double damage, making it vulnerable to specific strategies. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its elemental theme while balancing offensive and defensive considerations in competitive play.

It expels its internal steam from the arms on its back. It has enough power to blow away a mountain.
