Dark Typhlosion 10/105 · Neo Destiny

Neo Destiny is a set in the Neo series. It was released on February 28, 2002. The printed size is 105. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. Dark Typhlosion is 10/105, in position 10 of 113 on this checklist. Before it is 9 Dark Scizor, and after it is 11 Dark Tyranitar. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Dark Typhlosion is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 43. In the Pokédex this is Typhlosion (#157), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Dark Quilava. In this catalog that name is Quilava (#156).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

Typhlosion (#157) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Typhlosion 17/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card is named Typhlosion, while this one is Dark Typhlosion. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 26 other cards of Typhlosion list a different HP.

The attack Claw Swipe lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Rushing Flames is another attack lists 40× damage. The cost is Fire. You may discard any number of Fire Energy cards attached to your Pokémon. Flip a coin for each Fire Energy card discarded in this way. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "When it's in combat, the air around it shimmers and warps from the intense heat it produces."

I keep a set binder for Neo Destiny, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Destiny set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Typhlosion can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards, Team Rocket cards, and Johto starters. I still need this card.
