Collectors of the Neo Genesis 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: Fire Recharge

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, attach a Fire Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Fire Pokémon. This power can't be used if Typhlosion is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Flame Burst Cost: Fire + Fire + Fire + Fire · 60+ damage

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage and does 20 damage to Typhlosion. If tails, this attack does 60 damage.

Weakness: Water ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Typhlosion PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
