Burning Scarf

Rotated Out

A tool that punishes attackers with a burn when they hit your active Fire Pokemon.

TrainerBeginner to play

What this card does

Attach this card to one of your Fire Pokemon.

If an opponent's attack damages that Pokemon, the attacker becomes Burned.

What it does

Burning Scarf

If the Fire Pokémon this card is attached to is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if it is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Burned.

This Trainer card acts as a defensive shield for your active Fire Pokemon. When the opponent hits it, their own Pokemon suffers from a burn condition which stops them from using certain attacks.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks built around Fire types like Charizard or Magmaron that need protection in the front line.

Strengths
  • Defensive counter
  • Disrupts attacks
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Only for Fire types
  • Requires active spot
  • Does not prevent damage
Pro tip

Use this when the opponent has a powerful attack that your child wants to stop.

Good to know

Burning Scarf is a fictional item from the Pokemon world, not a real animal.

Note for the parent

Explain to your child that this card only works if the Fire Pokemon is currently playing in the active spot.
