The flavor text reads "The more it eats, the more fuel it has to make the fire in its stomach stronger. This fills it with even more power."

Pignite (#499) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Pignite 17/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 6 other cards of Pignite list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Cosmic Eclipse set binder is where a full Cosmic Eclipse set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pignite can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
