Typhlosion ex
Rotated OutA powerful Fire-type attacker that can rapidly boost its own energy supply.
What this card does
Typhlosion ex has 150 hit points and evolves from Quilava.
It uses the Bursting Up ability to search your deck for Fire Energy cards based on how many Pokémon your opponent has on their bench.
It attacks with Kindle, dealing 80 damage but forcing you to discard one of its own attached Energy cards and one from the opponent.
Bursting Up
Once during your turn, when you play Typhlosion ex from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, count the number of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. You may search your deck for up to that number of Fire Energy cards and attach them to 1 of your Fire Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward.
The Bursting Up ability allows you to attach multiple Fire Energy cards to a single Pokémon in one turn. This matters because it lets your attacker use powerful attacks much faster than normal.
Attacks
Discard an Energy card attached to Typhlosion ex and then discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.
