Team Rocket's Moltres ex #229

Team Rocket's Moltres ex is a Basic Fire-type Pokémon with 220 HP, released as a Special Illustration Rare in the Destined Rivals expansion. Illustrated by AKIRA EGAWA, this secret rare (229/182) represents the Flame Pokémon, described in the Pokédex as a legendary bird that creates flashes of fire with every flap of its wings.

In gameplay, this Pokémon ex relies on a combination of defense and immediate removal. Its first attack, Flame Screen, reduces incoming damage by 50 during the opponent's next turn. The second attack, Evil Incineration, introduces a distinct mechanic: by discarding an attached Team Rocket's Energy, the player instantly discards the opponent's Active Pokémon and all cards attached to it. As per the standard Pokémon ex rule, it gives up two Prize cards when Knocked Out.
