CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

For Charmander, emotions have their own light. The flame at the tip of its tail changes with its feelings: it flickers when it is enjoying itself and burns more fiercely when it is angry. Watching this little fire is a way of reading its mood. This warm little figure has a language that its face alone does not always express.

A detail worth noticing

Charmander dp7-101 has Scratch for 10 damage with one Colorless Energy. Ember deals 30 for Fire plus Colorless, then discards a Fire Energy attached to Charmander. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card: the stronger hit also consumes a resource, even without a coin flip.
