Charizard ex #223

Charizard ex 223/197 is a Special Illustration Rare from the Obsidian Flames expansion. As a Tera Pokémon, this Stage 2 card shifts from its usual Fire typing to a Darkness-type, and benefits from Bench protection against all attack damage. Illustrated by AKIRA EGAWA, this secret rare depicts the Flame Pokémon—known in the Pokédex for spitting fire hot enough to melt boulders—in its crystallized form.

Boasting 330 HP, this Pokémon ex utilizes the Infernal Reign Ability. When played from the hand to evolve, it allows the player to search their deck for up to three Basic Fire Energy cards and attach them freely. Its attack, Burning Darkness, scales in power, dealing 30 additional damage for each Prize card the opponent has taken. If Knocked Out, it yields two Prize cards to the opponent.
