Magcargo
Magcargo's fiery move keeps opponents' Active Pokémon in pain.
What this card does
Whenever the opponent switches their Active Pokémon to the Bench, it gets Burned.
Its Heat Blast attack does 100 damage without any extra effects.
Lava Zone
Whenever your opponent's Active Pokémon moves to the Bench during their turn, their new Active Pokémon is now Burned.
By burning your opponent's Active Pokémon, Magcargo disrupts their strategy and forces them to deal with a disadvantageous condition. This makes its attacks more effective against Water-type Pokémon.
