07Why Collectors Want It

Typhlosion — Pokemon TCG catalog for the Johto-region Fire-type Pokemon (Pokedex #157).
Required for any complete Typhlosion master set across eras.
Collectors of the Dragon Frontiers set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Typhlosion with 100 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Shady Move

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Typhlosion is your Active Pokémon, you may move 1 damage counter from either player's Pokémon to another Pokémon (yours or your opponent's). This power can't be used if Typhlosion is affected by a Special Condition.

Burning Ball Cost: Psychic + Colorless + Colorless · 60 damage

If Typhlosion has at least 2 Fire Energy attached to it, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned.

Weakness: Water ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
