#18 Volcarona - Ancient Origins (xy7)
Volcarona is a Fire-type Pokémon from the XY series, released in the Ancient Origins set on August 12, 2015. It has 110 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy, making it a moderately demanding play. The card features artwork by Kagemaru Himeno and is classified as a Rare card. Volcarona possesses two attacks: "Burning Scales" requires one Fire energy to deal 20+ damage, with additional damage determined by flipping two coins, and "Wind Wheel" demands Fire and two Colorless energy to strike for 80 damage while forcing the opponent to switch their Active Pokémon with a Benched one. Its primary weakness is to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text references volcanic ash darkening the atmosphere, highlighting Volcarona’s role as a fiery beacon in such conditions. It is numbered 18 in its set and corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 637.
