BREAKthrough is a set in the XY series. It was released on November 4, 2015. The printed size is 162. This checklist is longer, at 165 cards. Typhlosion is 20/162, in position 20 of 165 on this checklist. Before it is 19 Quilava, and after it is 21 Houndoom-EX. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Typhlosion is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 150 HP. In the Pokédex this is Typhlosion (#157), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Quilava. In this catalog that name is Quilava (#156).

Megumi Mizutani illustrated this card. The same name is on 133 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 lists 100 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Megumi Mizutani illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 23 other cards of Typhlosion list a different HP.

The attack Massive Eruption lists 80× damage. The cost is Fire. Discard the top 5 cards of your deck. This attack does 80 damage times the number of Energy cards you discarded. Flare Destroy is another attack lists 130 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless. Discard an Energy attached to this Pokémon. Then, discard an Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It has a secret, devastating move. It rubs its blazing fur together to cause huge explosions."

I keep a set binder for BREAKthrough, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the BREAKthrough set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Typhlosion can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
