Flareon ex #146

Flareon ex (146/131) from the Prismatic Evolutions set is a highly notable Special Illustration Rare, distinguished by its status as a secret card, appearing beyond the set's standard numbering. Its inherent rarity as a Special Illustration Rare, combined with the low pull rate typical for secret cards, contributes significantly to its desirability among collectors. As a Pokémon ex, this card represents a powerful and central mechanic of the Scarlet & Violet series, often featuring unique abilities and high HP, which further enhances its appeal.

This Stage 1 Fire-type Tera Pokémon ex boasts 270 HP and a distinctive protective ability: while on your Bench, it prevents all damage from attacks. Its attacks include "Burning Charge," which allows players to search their deck for up to two Basic Energy cards and attach them to one of their Pokémon, and "Carnelian," an attack with a drawback preventing the Pokémon from attacking during the next turn. The card design highlights Flareon's identity as a "Flame Pokémon," whose Pokédex entry reveals its body temperature can soar to over 1600 degrees when storing thermal energy, reflecting its fiery essence and power in battle.
