(Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It can clear a 30-story building in a leap. Its fiery punches scorch its foes."

I keep a set binder for Furious Fists, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Furious Fists set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Blaziken can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hoenn starters. I still need this card.
