Dragon is a set in the EX series. It was released on November 24, 2003. The printed size is 97. This checklist is longer, at 100 cards. Torkoal is 12/97, in position 12 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 11 Shedinja, and after it is 13 Crawdaunt. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Torkoal is a Basic Fire Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Torkoal (#324), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Torkoal (#324) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2025. The earliest other card is Team Magma's Torkoal 12/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Magma's Torkoal, while this one is Torkoal. Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. K. Hoshiba illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 15 other cards of Torkoal list a different HP.

The attack Power Generation lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your discard pile for up to 2 basic Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Scorching Smoke is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Fire. The Defending Pokémon is now Burned. Flip a coin. If tails, discard a Fire Energy card attached to Torkoal. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

I keep a set binder for Dragon, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragon set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Torkoal can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
